Parking brake:conventional:air
Problem: Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2001-2004 LFS buses manufactured January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2004. The affected vehicles have certain air hoses that may have been incorrectly connected to the R14 valve, causing a delay when applying the parking brake.
Risk: A delay in the application of the parking brake may result in the bus rolling forward or rearward a few feet, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Nova Bus is confirming that all buses were inspected and repaired. Nova Bus will notify the owner of any unremedied bus and dealers will correct the hose connection, free of charge. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova Bus' number for this recall is CR3405.
Engine and engine cooling:engine:other fuel types:turbo/supercharger
Problem: On certain transit buses equipped with detroit diesel series 40 engines, the turbocharger compressor wheel and backplate can break allowing lubricating oil to spill onto the engine.
Risk: This can result in a fire in the engine compartment.
Fix: Novabus in conjunction with detroit dieselwill inspect and replace the turbocharger, as necessary, to ensure that affected units have a boreless turbocharger compressor wheel and reinforced backplate and attachment installed (please see 04e051). The recall began on january 26, 2007. Owners may contact nova bus at 1-313-592-3708.
