The problem

Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Nova LFS and LFS Artic transit buses, equipped with axles with radial air disk brakes. Surface roughness of a guide pin in the radial brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break.

The risk

Breakage of the guide pin can cause loss of braking ability or loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Nova will notify owners and dealers will install new guide pins at each wheel end on suspect axles, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR4079.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
