Nova Bus LFS Artic: High Voltage

Affects Nova Bus LFS Artic · 2022–2023 — about 77 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain electric transit buses, a problem with the auxiliary heater contactor box could cause the high-voltage system to shut down. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A bus that is disabled could result in a transfer of passengers in an uncontrolled environment, which may create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Nova Bus will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to replace the auxiliary heater contactor box.
