## What is wrong

Nova Bus \(US\) Inc. \(Nova\) is recalling certain 2010\-2021 LFS and 2009\-2012 LFS Artic transit buses.  These vehicles are equipped with non\-standard color auxiliary lights which may impair the effectiveness of the standard lighting equipment.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

The colorful lighting may cause confusion by distracting other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will remove the non\-standard color lights, or replace them with white lights, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed January 31, 2023.  Owners may contact Nova's customer service at 1\-800\-350\-6682.  Nova's number for this recall is CR5350/5351.
