What is wrong

What can happen
Unintentional, full throttle application may increase the risk of a crash.

Nova has notified owners, and dealers have reprogrammed the buses, free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-450-472-6410. Nova's recall number for this campaign is CR4041.
