The short version
Nova Bus reported a problem with the hydraulic power assist hose, piping, and connections. Here is what owners need to know.
Certain power steering pipes from the rear engine bay to the front gear box may separate at the connection joint. This may cause a power steering assist lost and power steering fluid may leak from the ceiling into the passenger compartment.
A loss of power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash. A power steering fluid leak into the passenger cabin may increase the risk of a passenger injury.
Nova Bus will notify owners, provide instructions for inspecting and replacing the power steering pipes, free of charge.
