    Structure

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 transit buses, models: C35LF, C40LFR, D35LFR, D40LF, D40LFR, D60LF, D60LFA, D60LFR, DE35LFA, DE40LF, DE40LFA, DE40LFR, DE60LF, DE60LFA, DE60LFR, and XDE40. The drive shaft access panel may have insufficient strength or be not properly secured to the floor. If the drive shaft fails, debris from the driveshaft failure may enter the passenger compartment through the panel.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If debris resulting from drive shaft failure enters the passenger compartment, it may result in injury to the bus occupants.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    New Flyer notification to owners on 01/03/2013. Dealers will install a steel plate under the access panel on affected buses, free of charge. Owners may contact New Flyer at 1-204-224-6706 for more information.

  2. 10V089000Received . 1,845 units.

    Power Train / Driveline / Driveshaft

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    New flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 transit buses. These models have an inspection panel located above the drive shaft in the passenger compartment flooring for easy inspection and removal of the drive shaft. This panel may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a drive shaft failure.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Failure of the drive shaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will incorporate an energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 10, 2010. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4874.

    Electrical System / Alternator/Generator/Regulator

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    New flyer is recalling 1,001 my 2004-2007 d40lf, my 2005 d40lfr, and my 2007-2008 d60lfr transit buses equipped with ce niehoff c701a or c703a alternators. Failure of the forward alternator bearing may result in a drop and seizure of the rotating alternator shaft and pulley. Once the pulley is stationary, the alternator drive belt continues to pass over the pulley creating high quantities of belt dust.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Due to the very high internal temperatures created at the bearing during shaft seizure, the belt dust may ignite, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    To increase the potential longevity of the alternator bearings, dealers will incorporate a lower tension belt tensioner and a narrower belt. To prevent thermal ignition in the event of a bearing failure, a lighter duty, narrower belt will shred rather than continue to run over the stationary pulley. The recall began on november 17, 2008. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4803.
