2025–2026 Nova Bus LFS ARTIC

2025–2026 Nova Bus LFS

The hazard

On certain buses, the brake treadle valve may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the air line(s) could disconnect from the valve connections and cause an air leak in the brake system. If this happens, there could be reduced braking.

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Nova Bus will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and secure the treadle valve connections.
