- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2021568
- Manufacturer's number: CR4963 \& CR4974
- Reported: 2021\-08\-31
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 332

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain buses, the power steering pipes from the rear engine bay to the front gear box may separate at the connection joint. If this happens, power steering fluid could spill from the ceiling inside the passenger compartment of the bus and there could be a loss of power steering assist.

Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 2021\-057.

Safety Risk:

A loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a power steering fluid spill inside the bus could create a risk of injury.

Corrective Actions:

Nova Bus will notify owners in writing and provide them with directions for inspecting and replacing the power steering pipes.
