## What is wrong

Nova Bus \(Nova\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2015 Nova LFS transit buses manufactured from August 10, 2010, through November 5, 2015.  The affected seats have J\-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J\-Bracket.


## What can happen

If the seat belt anchorage assembly separates from the J\-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

Nova will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seats for missing welds.  If missing welds are found, the seats will be repaired, free of charge.  The recall began on June 8, 2016.  Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1\-450\-472\-6410.  Nova's recall number for this campaign is CR3632.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
