2022 Nova Bus LFS Transit Buses Steering System Defect Recall

Nova Bus is recalling certain 2020-2023 LFS transit buses because the electric power steering system may be missing a check valve, which could allow the steering wheel to turn unintentionally without driver input, 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 defect in the electric power steering system (missing check valve) that creates a real risk of unintentional vehicle steering. However, no injuries or incidents have been reported, making this a theoretical rather than realized hazard, which per the rubric limits the score to High (3).

Plain-English summary

Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2023 LFS transit buses. The affected model years include 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Approximately 339 vehicles are affected. The electric power steering system may be missing a check valve.

Without the check valve, hydraulic pressure can turn the steering wheel without the driver's input. This defect increases the risk of unintentional steering, which could lead to a crash or injury.

Nova Bus will install a check valve at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 11, 2025. Owners should contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 for more information or to schedule the repair. The manufacturer's recall number is CR5746.
