By Colleen Kave, J.D.
Nova Bus has recalled approximately 863 model year 2014-2016 LFS and LFS Artic vehicles manufactured from January 1, 2014, through February 15, 2016, because the pin on the wiper idler arm may strip, causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative. The company cautions that if the windshield wipers become inoperative, visibility will be decreased, increasing the risk of a crash (NHTSA Recall Notice, No. 16V135, Report receipt date: March 4, 2016).
Remedy. Nova will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper idler arm, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on April 20, 2016.
