2012 NOVA BUS NOVA LFS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nova Bus is recalling certain 2012 Nova LFS transit buses equipped with specific Bendix brake valves, treadle assemblies, and plunger kits. The brake valve plunger may fracture during brake application, which can reduce brake pedal angle and travel, limiting the driver's ability to deliver full pressure from the foot brake valve. In some cases, the brake plunger could become lodged and prevent the service brakes from releasing. These conditions could reduce braking ability and lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing crash risk.
Nova Bus will notify owners and repair affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began on August 7, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Nova Bus at 1-800-350-6682 or Bendix at 1-440-329-9386.
