Nova Bus LFS: Structure

Affects Nova Bus LFS · 1996–1998 — about 235 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain low-floor buses equipped with window stoppers which are designed to be released manually in emergencies in order to allow the window to be opened to full width for passenger egress, these window stoppers may wear or become damaged thereby allowing the window to open fully. There is the risk of passengers falling out of the window if this should occur. Correction: A new version window stopper will be installed on affected vehicles.
