2013-2022 Nova Bus Lfs/Lfs Artic Recall 22V323: Text Board

Recall 22V323 covers 307 2013-2022 Nova Bus Lfs Artic and Lfs buses for text boards duplicating light signals. Free removal through Prevost Service Centers.

What's wrong?

The vehicle multiplex system on the 2013-2022 Nova Bus Lfs Artic and Lfs buses is the electronic control network that sends commands to exterior equipment and lighting. In this recall, it controls a momentary STOP and YIELD text message board, which is supposed to show a short message without copying regulated lamp signals.

On affected buses, the message board duplicates the stop light and turn signal light signals. That happens because different customer configurations allowed the board to repeat regulated lighting functions instead of staying separate from them. The result is a lighting setup that does not comply with the required exterior lighting standard.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the sign configuration, so the driver is not expected to feel a change in braking, steering, or normal bus operation before the noncompliant display appears.

Who's affected?

Spans Lfs and Lfs Artic buses across 2013-2022, with the VBEA vehicle multiplex tied to both equipment and exterior lighting.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific bus.

What's the safety risk?

Duplicated light signals on the momentary text message board create a confusion risk for drivers around the bus, which increases the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the repair and follow the dealer's instructions until the equipment is removed. Repair is free at any franchised Nova Bus dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2022 Nova Bus Lfs Artic or Lfs bus is included in this recall.
2. Contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-800-350-6682 to coordinate the free repair through a Prevost Service Center.
3. Schedule removal of the momentary STOP and YIELD text message board and associated equipment so the bus no longer duplicates stop-light and turn-signal signals.
4. Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 22V323 when you call.
5. Drive carefully until the repair is complete, especially around stops and turns where duplicated signals confuse nearby drivers.

What happens at the repair

At the Prevost Service Center, a Nova Bus technician removes the momentary STOP and YIELD text message board that duplicates the stop light and turn signal signals, along with the related equipment. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you paid out of pocket for this related repair before the recall notice, Nova Bus's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to the service desk.
