The short answer

NHTSA received NOVA BUS INCORPORATED’s report on Jul 12, 2010. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE INADVERTENTLY EVEN WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

NOVA BUS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 TRANSIT BUSES EQUIPPED WITH ATC (AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL) SYSTEM AND V-BEA MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM MANUFACTURED FROM APRIL 2, 2007 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2010.

THE ATC SYSTEM MAY INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATE WHENEVER THE PARKING BRAKE OR THE BRAKE INTERLOCK IS APPLIED, SINCE THE VEHICLE’S MULTIPLEX PROGRAM DID NOT CORRECTLY SEND THE PARKING BRAKE OR INTERLOCK SIGNAL TO THE ATC SYSTEM.

THE ATC SYSTEM COULD MISINTERPRET THIS SITUATION AS WHEEL SPIN, SUBSEQUENTLY APPLYING AND RELEASING THE APPLIED BRAKES.

THE VEHICLE COULD THEN MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
