New Flyer XDE40 recalls

  • Recall 25V898000Dec 19, 20256,673 vehiclesModel years 2015–2026

    Risk: An ABS or ESC warning light that fails to illuminate will not alert the driver to the loss of ABS or ESC, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 22V943000Dec 20, 2022746 vehiclesModel years 2013–2022

    Risk: A loose steering shaft can cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 22V637000Aug 24, 202255 vehiclesModel years 2021–2022

    Risk: A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 21V365000May 18, 20213,600 vehiclesModel years 2016–2020

    Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

  • Recall 20V462000Aug 6, 2020164 vehiclesModel years 2015–2016

    Risk: A loss of drive can disable the vehicle unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, offloading passengers to transfer them to another bus can increase the risk of injury.

  • Recall 18V827000Nov 22, 2018463 vehiclesModel years 2015

    Risk: If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

  • Recall 18V615000Sep 12, 2018386 vehiclesModel years 2016–2018

    Risk: A loss of drive can disable the vehicle unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 18V155000Mar 7, 2018979 vehiclesModel years 2016–2018

    Risk: Failure of the drive shaft end-caps would result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 18V020000Jan 9, 2018283 vehiclesModel years 2017

    Risk: If the brake hose disconnects from the ABS modulator valve, there will be no brake force applied to either of the front axle brake assemblies, lengthening the needed braking distance and increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 17V539000Aug 30, 2017214 vehiclesModel years 2017

    Risk: If the seat belt cannot be latched, the bus may be operated without the seat belt being used, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

  • Recall 16V223000Apr 19, 20161,897 vehiclesModel years 2014–2016

    Risk: If the rear bus door opens unexpectedly while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.

  • Recall 16V038000Jan 26, 20164,848 vehiclesModel years 2010–2015

    Risk: If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

  • Recall 15V562000Sep 4, 2015432 vehiclesModel years 2014–2015

    Risk: A loss of steering increases the risk of a crash.

    Risk: If the rear bus door opens while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.

  • Recall 14V532000Sep 4, 2014731 vehiclesModel years 2013–2014

    Risk: The binding of the piston may result in increased resistance while applying the brakes and the potential for brake drag once the brake pedal is released. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 14V519000Aug 28, 201439 vehiclesModel years 2014

    Risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.

  • Recall 13V487000Oct 17, 2013119 vehiclesModel years 2013

    Risk: In the event of a loss of air supply pressure in the rear air reservoir, there would be a loss of service braking effect on both the front and rear axles, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 13V221000May 28, 2013188 vehiclesModel years 2013

    Risk: If the engine starts without warning, there is an increased risk for injury to persons working on or near the engine.

  • Recall 12V591000Dec 17, 20122,048 vehiclesModel years 2011

    Risk: If debris resulting from drive shaft failure enters the passenger compartment, it may result in injury to the bus occupants.

  • Recall 12V518000Oct 25, 20121,041 vehiclesModel years 2010–2012

    Risk: If the brakes drag, they may overheat, possibly resulting in a fire.

  • Recall 12V132000Mar 26, 201289 vehiclesModel years 2010–2012

    Risk: If this condition occurs, unintentional discharge of the battery’s stored energy can result, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • Recall 12V002000Jan 4, 2012490 vehiclesModel years 2009–2012

    Risk: Engine shutdown would result in loss of vehicle propulsion or vehicle stall, either of which increases the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V431000Aug 22, 201178 vehiclesModel years 2010

    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.
