The defect
Nova Bus is recalling certain model year 2001-2004 LFS buses manufactured January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2004. The affected vehicles have certain air hoses that may have been incorrectly connected to the R14 valve, causing a delay when applying the parking brake.

A delay in the application of the parking brake may result in the bus rolling forward or rearward a few feet, increasing the risk of a crash.
