## What is wrong

Nova Bus \(US\) Inc. \(Nova Bus\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 LFS Artic and 2019\-2023 LFS transit buses. The driver's speaker hole door may have been built with the prime glazing manufacturer DOT code mark missing. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 205, "Glazing Materials."


## What can happen

A missing DOT code mark may result in the door being replaced with the incorrect type of plastic, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Nova Bus will replace the plastic panel door, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed by July 7, 2026. Owners will receive another notice once remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Nova Bus customer service at 1\-450\-472\-6410. Nova Bus' number for this recall is CR5884. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 23, 2026.
