The short answer

From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 30, 2026.

A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.

Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?

No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.

17 letters and numbers, at the bottom of the windshield on the driver’s side. VINs never use I, O or Q.

The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.

What recalls name it?

22 recalls for the 2019 Nova Bus LFS in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.

NHTSA advises some owners not to drive it, or to park it outside: see below.

What have owners told NHTSA?

0 complaints to NHTSA.

  • None told of a crash, and none of a fire.
  • None reports anyone injured or killed.
  • Complaints are owners’ own reports, not findings: NHTSA reads them to decide what to look into. Only their counts are kept here; no complaint’s words or owner are read.

How did it do in crash tests?

NHTSA hasn’t rated the 2019 Nova Bus LFS in its 5-Star Safety Ratings. That says nothing about how it would do.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.
  • How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
