Nova Bus Recalls 2024-2025 LFS Models Due to Window Glass Detachment Risk

Nova Bus is recalling 2024 LFS Artic and 2025 LFS transit buses because inadequate window frame adhesion may cause glass to detach, increasing injury and road hazard risks.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 (window glass detachment) that increases the risk of ejection and injury during a crash, but the source text does not report any actual 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 (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2025 LFS and 2024 LFS Artic transit buses. The recall addresses a defect where inadequate adhesion around the window frame may cause the glass to detach. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."

The defect poses a safety risk because the glass can fall out of the frame, increasing the risk of ejection and injury during a crash. Additionally, detached window glass can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

Nova Bus will inspect and replace the glass as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on May 29, 2026. Owners will receive another notice once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova Bus' number for this recall is CR5877. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 25, 2026.
