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: This recall is rated High because it involves a structural defect that creates a visibility hazard and increases crash risk, but no injuries, hospitalizations, or actual accidents have been reported. The hazard is significant but currently theoretical.

Plain-English summary

Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 LFS buses. The windshield wiper arms in these vehicles may be incorrectly aligned, causing the wiper blades to collide with each other.

When wiper blades are damaged or misaligned, they cannot clear the windshield effectively. This reduces visibility during rain or snow, increasing the risk of a crash.

Affected owners should contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682 to schedule a free inspection and realignment of the wiper blades. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 10, 2024. Nova Bus's reference number for this recall is CR5615.
