Nova Bus recalls 2025 LFS and 2024 LFS Artic transit buses over window glass that can fall out
Weak adhesion around the window frame can let the glass detach, which raises the risk of people being thrown out and hurt in a crash and of loose glass becoming a hazard for other vehicles on the road.
What to do
Owners can call Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 and mention recall number CR5877. Nova Bus will inspect the buses and replace the glass as needed for free, and owners will get another notice when the remedy is available.
