Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Transit buses equipped with an Automatic Traction Control (ATC) system and V-BEA multiplexing system that were manufactured between April 2, 2007 and June 30, 2010. The ATC system may inadvertently activate when the parking brake or brake interlock is applied because the vehicle's multiplex program does not correctly send the parking brake or interlock signal to the ATC system. The ATC system may then misinterpret this as wheel spin, causing it to apply and release the brakes, which could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly even though the parking brake is engaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will reprogram the ATC system and the engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) at no charge to fix this issue. The safety recall began on July 22, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Nova Bus at 450-472-6410.
