Nova Bus recalls 2022–2023 LFS transit buses because bike rack screws may be too short

The mounting screws on the bike rack may be too short and strip the threads, so the rack could come off the bus and become a road hazard that raises the risk of a crash.

What to do

Nova Bus will replace the mounting screws for free, and owner letters are expected to be mailed November 28, 2026. Owners can call Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682 and mention recall number CR5957.
