The problem

New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2016 New Flyer XN60 and XN40 Xcelsior transit buses manufactured June 22, 2016, to September 14, 2016, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). The pressure relief device (PRD) of the CNG system may fracture and separate, allowing a high pressure release of CNG.

The risk

An unexpected release of CNG gas in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fix

New Flyer has notified owners, and dealers will install new a vent tubing system and replace the PRD, free of charge. The recall began September 28, 2016. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R16-026. Note: Owners are advised to remove the vehicles from operation until the recall remedy can be applied.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
