2022–2024 Nova Bus LFS ARTIC and LFS recall: engine

Visit Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database for the original recall.

This recall was replaced by Transport Canada recall no. 2026-424.

Issue:

This recall is for engine coolant level sensors installed on certain transit buses or sold as a replacement part.

On certain transit buses, the engine coolant level sensor may be defective and could falsely detect a low level of coolant. If this happens, the engine could shut down and cause a loss of power to the wheels.

Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2024-706. Buses that were repaired under that recall don't require this repair.

Safety Risk:

A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A bus that is disabled could result in a transfer of passengers in an uncontrolled environment, which may create a risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

Nova Bus will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine coolant level sensor.
