What is wrong

Nova Bus will inspect and replace the power steering hoses, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 10, 2023. Owners may contact Nova customer service at 1-800-350-6682. Nova's number for this recall is CR5451. This recall is an expansion of recall number 23V-054.
