New Flyer DE40LFR recalls
Risk: Failure of the front axle beam can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If debris resulting from drive shaft failure enters the passenger compartment, it may result in injury to the bus occupants.
Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Risk: Failure of the teeter lever assembly will cause the rear side exit door to operate improperly. A passenger leaning on or forced against the door could fall through the door and sustain injuries.
Risk: Failure of the drive shaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in injury or death.
