Transport Canada recalls
11- Lights And Instruments#2025711
466 units affected
Issue: On certain transit buses, a software problem could cause the antilock braking system (ABS) warning light not to turn on if there's a problem with the ABS. Safety Risk: A warning light that doesn't turn on could cause you not to be aware of a problem with the ABS. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: New Flyer will notify owners in writing and provide you with instructions for how to update the vehicle software. Alternatively, you may contact New Flyer to arrange for a service team to perform the repairs.
- Fuel System#2025045
117 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the remote fuel filter hoses may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, a fuel hose could disconnect and fuel could leak. This could also cause the engine to stall while driving. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with certain L9 diesel engines. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Additionally, a sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: New Flyer will notify owners by email and advise you to take your bus to a Cummins authorized service center to replace the remote fuel filter hoses.
- Fuel System#2021296
786 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the fuel rail assembly could develop a leak. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with a Cummins L9 diesel engine. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: New Flyer will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a Cummins authorized service center to inspect the fuel rail. If damage is found, the fuel rail and fuel lines will be replaced. If no damage is found, the fuel rail will be reassembled with new crush washers using a special tool.
- Brakes#2018312
95 units affected
On certain buses, there may be increased friction in the centre axle brake caliper guide pin due to a manufacturing defect. If undetected, this could cause the breakage of the guide pin bolt, irregular brake pad wear, and brake pad contact with the surface of the wheel. This could result in reduced braking force, a loss of tire pressure to an inner tire on the dual-wheeled center axle and possibly reduced parking brake functionality, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Customers will be supplied with a repair kit and directions to recondition both centre axle brake calipers.
- Powertrain#2018118
75 units affected
On certain buses, the sidewalls of the driveshaft's slip yoke were modified and may fracture and fatigue because they are too thin. This could result in failure of the driveshaft, which would cause loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be provided instructions to inspect and replace the modified slip yokes.
- Brakes#2018013
133 units affected
On certain buses, the connections from the front air brake hoses to the ABS modulator valves may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. If the connections were to separate, it would cause a loss of braking capability on the front axle, which could result in longer stopping distances, and would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be advised to disconnect the suspect front air brake hose connections, and reinstall the connections to the specified torque.
- Seats And Restraints#2017420
80 units affected
On certain buses, the latching mechanism of the driver's seat belt buckle may prevent the tongue of the seat belt from being inserted into the latch assembly. If the seat belt is unable to be latched, and the vehicle is operated without the seat belt fastened, in the event of a crash, the risk of injury to the driver could be increased. Correction: Owners will be advised to inspect the date code of the seat belt buckle, and replacement parts will be supplied as necessary.
- Structure#2016164
159 units affected
On certain buses, the software for the Electric Transit Operator (ETO) control module which controls the rear passenger exit door may contain an error. This could result in a higher than required output torque from the ETO control module when the door is in a fully open position, which over time may result in a fracture of the rear door roller plate. If the roller plate fails there is a potential for the rear door to open inadvertently while the bus is in motion, which would increase the risk for injury to vehicle occupants, and/or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ETO control module, and replace both rear door roller plates with more robust versions.
- Seats And Restraints#2016031
144 units affected
Certain buses equipped with a Recaro ERGO-M driver seats may be missing welds on the seat structure. As a result, the seatbelt anchorage assembly could separate from the seat structure in the event of a crash, which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect for missing welds and if required replace the J-brackets.
- Structure#2015215
128 units affected
On certain buses, the software installed that controls the electronic door controller assemblies may be incorrect. The software programming in the controller may misinterpret door operational status from the vehicle multiplex system. If the driver were to initiate the doors open option as the bus accelerates from a stop, this could allow the passenger doors to reopen. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, an occupant could fall from the vehicle and sustain injuries. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle software.
- Brakes#2014371
274 units affected
On certain vehicles, insufficient clearance through the brake pedal mounting plate can result in improper alignment between the brake pedal assembly and the brake valve actuator. This misalignment could cause the brake valve actuator to become damaged, causing an increase in resistance when depressing the brake pedal, or brake drag when the pedal is released. This could increase vehicle stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be sent repair instructions and revised parts.
