The problem
Nova bus is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 lfs 40 ft and lfs 60 ft transit buses manufactured from march 31, 2009, through february 11, 2011. An insufficient torque was applied to the drag link attachment bolts during production. The drag link could become detached from the steering linkage, causing a loss of vehicle control.
The risk
Loss of vehicle control could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will provide owners the correct documentation to verify the torque values for the drag link and to correct the drag link if necessary. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the correct torque value free of charge. The safety recall began on march 16, 2011. Owners may contact nova bus at 1-450-472-6410.
