What this recall means for you
Some transit buses may have been built with too few emergency exits, which does not meet the federal bus emergency exit and window standard. This means passengers could be prevented or delayed from getting out during an emergency, raising the risk of injury.
The manufacturer will replace some windows with emergency exit windows at no cost. The campaign is being carried out in phases, and owners were notified by mail starting December 12, 2025. If you own or operate one of these buses, contact Nova Bus customer service at 866-870-2046 and reference recall CR5772 to schedule the free repair at an authorized dealer.
