Transport Canada recalls

Label#2024237April 22, 2024
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.
