Summary: Nova bus is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 transit buses equipped with atc (automatic traction control) system and v-bea multiplexing system manufactured from April 2, 2007 through June 30, 2010. The atc system may inadvertently activate whenever the parking brake or the brake interlock is applied, since the vehicle's multiplex program did not correctly send the parking brake or interlock signal to the atc system. The atc system could misinterpret this situation as wheel spin, subsequently applying and releasing the applied brakes. The vehicle could then move unexpectedly.
Consequence: The vehicle may move inadvertently even when the parking brake is applied increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the system and the engine's ECU free of charge. The safety recall began on July 22, 2010. Owners may contact nova bus at 450-472-6410.
Notes: Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Nova Bus been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Nova Bus dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
