NHTSA Campaign 21V151000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
Issued by Nova Bus · Reported Mar 9, 2021 · 123 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Nova Bus (Nova) is recalling certain 2008-2021 LFS Buses. The center-line height of the brake lights and tail lights is too high, exceeding the maximum height standard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
Reduced visibility of the brake and tail lights can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Nova will notify owners, and provide instructions for interchanging the positions of the brake light and tail light components with the turn signal light components, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 2021. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682.
