The short version

Nova Bus (US) Inc. reported a problem with the driveline driveshaft. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The transmission yoke may separate, resulting in driveshaft separation and a sudden loss of drive power.

WHY IT MATTERS

A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the output yoke bolts, and if necessary, tighten loose output yoke bolts, free of charge.
