Nova Bus LFS Artic: Seats and Restraints

Affects Nova Bus LFS Artic · 2010–2013 — about 144 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the stops used when the flip-up seat located behind the bus operator’s seat are in the down position may have fatigue cracks. If left untreated, the cracks may eventually cause failure of the stops. Failure of both stops would result in the seat bottom to fold downwards, which could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and repair as required.
