The 2011 NOVA BUS LFS has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to exterior lighting and electrical systems based on recall information. There are no direct owner complaints recorded.
Six recalls affect various safety and lighting components on the bus. These recalls involve exterior and brake lighting compliance, electrical connector overheating, and seat belt anchorage on driver seats.
- Exterior lighting non-compliance. Certain buses have non-standard color auxiliary lights that may distract other drivers and do not meet federal lighting standards. The recall requires removal or replacement with white lights to restore compliance.
- Brake and tail light height. The height of brake and tail lights exceeds federal maximums. Visibility is reduced, increasing crash risk. The fix involves repositioning the brake and tail light components with the turn signal lights.
- Electrical connector overheating. The engine door fan electrical connector may overheat due to insufficient current capacity, raising the risk of fire. The repair replaces the connector at no cost to owners.
- Seat belt anchorage welds. Some driver seats have J-Brackets with missing welds. This can cause the seat belt anchorage to separate during a crash, increasing injury risk. Dealers inspect and repair affected seats.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues, especially concerning safety-related defects, may have rights under their state’s lemon law.
