| 2021568 | 2021-08-31. Steering. Issue: On certain buses, the power steering pipes from the rear engine bay to the front gear box may separate at the connection joint.

Corrective Actions: Nova Bus will notify owners in writing and provide them with directions for inspecting and replacing the power steering pipes. |
