2021 NOVA BUS LFS ARTIC

11 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory.

Do not drive

1 campaign covering the 2021 NOVA BUS LFS ARTIC carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2021 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.
