Defect

Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain 2014-2017 LFS and LFS Artic buses equipped with USSC cantilever seats. The hardware used to attach the cantilever seats to the side rail may have been improperly tightened. As a result, the cantilever seat may drop to the floor.

Safety risk

If the cantilever seat drops while it is occupied, there is an increased risk of an injury.

Remedy

Nova will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat rails and hardware, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 30, 2019. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR4663.
