The problem

New flyer is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 low floor transit buses produced from may 24, 2007, through march 1, 2011 and equipped with teeter lever assemblies. There is insufficient engagement between the teeter lever base and the cam plate.

The 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.

The fix

New flyer is working with the manufacturer of the teeter lever assemblies, vapor bus, to repair the affected buses free of charge. Please see vapor bus defect report 11e-010. The safety recall began on april 29, 2011. Owners may contact vapor bus at 1-847-777-6450 or new flyer customer services at 1-204-934-4874.
