Novabus composition of the material used to cast the handles is incorrect resulting in embrittlement of the handle and a reduction in material strength.
The short version
Nova Bus reported a problem with the visibility glass, side/rear. Here is what owners need to know.
The composition of the material used to cast the handles is incorrect resulting in embrittlement of the handle and a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.
In the event the egress window fails during an emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the bus placing them at risk of injury.
Nova Bus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the egress handles free of charge.
