2009 Nova Bus Lfs Artic Recall

Issued October 19, 2009
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the brake hoses may not have been properly crimped during the fabrication process. As such, the crimping rings may exhibit cracks that weaken the integrity of the hose connection, causing a separation of the hose from the connector. Should separation occur, a drop in pneumatic pressure could occur, resulting in a partial or complete loss of braking efficiency. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the crimping rings and, if necessary, replace the brake hoses.
