Nova Bus (US) Inc.: Exterior Lighting › Tail Lights

Nova Bus (US) Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 4, 2023 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 10. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

Nova Bus (US) Inc. (Nova Bus) is recalling certain 2022 LFS vehicles. The taillights may fail to illuminate when the headlights are activated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Taillights that fail to illuminate may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Nova Bus will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2023. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5397.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 23V239000.
