Nova Bus LFS Vehicles Recalled for Reduced Driver Window Visibility

Nova Bus is recalling certain 2019-2023 LFS and 2019-2020 LFS Arctic buses because the window glazing may reduce driver visibility. Reduced visibility increases crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is classified as score 3 (High) because it is a risk-of-harm product where no injury has been reported. The hazard is theoretical—the glazing may reduce visibility and can increase crash risk, but no actual incidents are documented.

Plain-English summary

Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2019 through 2023 LFS buses and 2019-2020 LFS Arctic buses. The window glazing material on these vehicles may reduce driver visibility, causing them to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205, which governs glazing materials.
