Complaints by model year
Newer model years have had less time on the road, so they naturally have fewer complaints. Compare a year against its neighbors rather than against brand-new models.

New Flyer XN40 recalls
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.
Risk: Unintended acceleration can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: A loose steering shaft can cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the roof hatch glass shatters, glass particles could fall down onto passengers, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
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.
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.
Risk: An unexpected release of CNG gas in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the rear bus door opens unexpectedly while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.
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.
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.
Risk: If the engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
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.
Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
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.
Risk: If the latch handle and tube fall from the rack it would create a potential road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the engine starts without warning, there is an increased risk for injury to persons working on or near the engine.
Risk: If the brakes drag, they may overheat, possibly resulting in a fire.
Risk: Engine shutdown would result in loss of vehicle propulsion or vehicle stall, either of which increases the risk of a crash.
