Transport Canada Recall - 2019168 - NOVA BUS

Issue:
On certain electric and hybrid buses, a problem with the power steering system could cause it to turn off while driving.

Safety Risk:
A loss of power steering assist would result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners and instruct them to inspect the electrical connections to the power steering motor. If corrosion is found, the electrical connection must be repaired before the bus is put back in service. Owners will be advised once a final repair is available.
