What this recall means for you
Certain 2019-2020 LFS commercial buses may have driver's door windows built without the prime glazing manufacturer DOT code mark. Because of this, the windows may have been replaced with an incorrect type of glass, and the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 for glazing materials.
The glass problem can reduce visibility through the driver's door window, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware that the defect involves the window glazing itself, so the issue affects what the driver can see from the side of the bus.
Nova Bus will replace the glass panels free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 20, 2026. To check whether a vehicle is involved, search its VIN on NHTSA.gov, where involved VINs will be searchable beginning January 30, 2026, and contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 for the repair.
