Nova Bus is recalling 2007 LFS transit buses because reversed wires in the antilock brake system connector may disable the ABS, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (antilock brake system) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2007 LFS transit buses manufactured between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007. The recall addresses a defect where two wires in the antilock brake system (ABS) connector may be reversed, which can result in the ABS being disabled.

Without a functioning antilock brake system, there is an increased risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Nova Bus notified owners, and dealers inspected and corrected the position of the wires, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410.
