Remedy, in the NHTSA record
New Flyer will notify owners instructing them to inspect their seats for missing welds. Recaro will supply replacement anchorage brackets and cover the labor to replace them if any welds are missing, free of charge. The recall began on February 4, 2016.

Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Cummins will work with NABI to notify owners, and dealers will secure the ends of the 90-degree elbow. In addition, the electronic control module (ECM) will be reprogrammed with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact NABI customer service at 1-256-241-1298. NABI's number for this recall is 20152.
