Nova Bus LFS Recall 26V206: Bus Windows Can Detach, Creating Ejection and Road Hazards

NHTSA campaign 26V206, reported March 31, 2026, 13 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2025 LFS and 2024 LFS Artic transit buses may have inadequate adhesion around the window frame, so the glass can detach from the frame. These buses also do not meet federal standard FMVSS 217 for window retention and release.

If the glass falls out, it raises the risk of a passenger being ejected or injured during a crash, and loose glass can become a hazard to other vehicles on the road. Interim notification letters about the safety risk were mailed May 29, 2026.

The repair is free: Nova Bus will inspect and replace the glass as necessary. Owners will receive another notice once the remedy is available, and can contact Nova Bus customer service at 1-450-472-6410 (recall CR5877). Vehicles involved will be searchable by VIN on NHTSA.gov starting September 25, 2026; check your VIN for open recalls in the meantime.
