Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A low brake air pressure warning light that fails to illuminate when the engine is off will not alert the driver to a low brake pressure condition, increasing the risk of a crash if the parking brake is disengaged before starting the engine.
A seat belt that does not retract properly may result in a loose seat belt, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The colorful lighting may cause confusion by distracting other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
If an sign falls, there is an increased risk of injury to anyone under or standing near the sign.
If the main power cable disconnects, there will be a loss of power that could disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2012 NOVA BUS LFS ARTICs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
