Nova Bus recalls 2024–2025 LFS transit buses because driver's seat belt can get pinched

The driver's seat belt may be pinched by the partition and fail to retract properly, so it could be loose and not hold the driver well in a crash, raising the risk of injury.

What to do

Nova Bus will adjust the seat base plate for free, and owners can call Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 and cite recall number CR5818. Owners can also search their VIN on NHTSA.gov beginning January 9, 2026.
