Nova Bus Recalls 453 LFS Transit Buses: Fuel Filter Hoses May Separate, Leak Fuel and Stall the Engine
Nova Bus (US) Inc. is recalling 453 transit buses, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The recall, campaign 26V712 (Nova Bus number CR5969), covers certain 2022-2024 LFS and 2023 LFS Artic transit buses.
The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall. The agency says a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, and an engine stall increases the risk of a crash. The buses are workhorses of public transit fleets, whose operators will work through the recall vehicle by vehicle.
Nova Bus will replace the fuel hoses free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 26, 2026, and questions can be directed to Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682. (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
