03- Label#2024237
627 units affected
Issue: On certain transit buses, the compliance label lists incorrect information for the compressed natural gas (CNG) system. This includes the total water volume, the system check date and the "do not fill after" date. Additionally, the labels may be missing information in French. As a result, the incorrect or missing information could cause confusion and lead you to fill the system beyond the stated capacity and/or fill date. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. Safety Risk: A CNG system that is filled beyond its capacity and/or after the fill date could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: New Flyer will notify owners by email and provide them with new labels and instructions for how to install them.
- Engine#2015212
88 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins Westport ISL-G engines, excessive engine crankcase pressure could cause the vent tube assembly elbow to detach from the breather. This could allow engine oil to come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install clamps at both ends of the elbow of the breather tube assembly and reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to improve diagnostic capabilities.
- Engine#2014065
29 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins compressed natural gas engines, incorrect engine ECU programming could cause the exhaust system temperature to become elevated during cold weather operation. This could also cause flames to be emitted from the exhaust. As a result, nearby combustible material could be ignited, increasing the risk of a fire, injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Authorized Cummins service facilities will update software programming.
