What is wrong

What can happen
Taillights that fail to illuminate may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Nova Bus will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2023. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5397.
