- The defect
- Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2022-2024 LFS and 2023 LFS Artic transit buses. The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Nova Bus will replace the fuel hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 26, 2026. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova Bus's number for this recall is CR5969.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 453 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% of the 19,933 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nova Bus vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 2 times before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V328000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 40 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V624000 (equipment), 26V604000 (parking brake), 26V573000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V355000 (service brakes, air).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nova Bus (US) Inc. with NHTSA on October 27, 2026 as campaign 26V712000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
