Defect
Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2012 Nova LFS transit buses equipped with certain Bendix brake valves, treadle assemblies, and/or plunger kits.The brake valve plunger may fracture after brake application, resulting in reduced brake pedal angle and travel. This condition may limit the driver's ability to deliver full pressure from the foot brake valve. There is also the potential that the brake plunger could become lodged and prevent the release of the service brakes.
Safety risk
This condition could reduce braking ability and lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Nova Bus will notify owners and repair the vehicles that contain the brake valves, treadle assemblies, and plunger kits, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 7, 2012. Owners may contact Nova Bus at 1-800-350-6682 or Bendix at 1-440-329-9386.
