2000–2007 New Flyer D60HF recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain transit buses, the center axle wheel end brakes may not release after being parked for an extended period of time.
💥 The risk
The driver could lose control of the vehicle when driving away from a parked position, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
New flyer will install an additional air system R14 relay valve, #4 notch automatic slack adjusters, and type 30 long stoke brake chambers on the center axle; the logic control module will be reprogrammed, add new ABS components (sensors, speed rings and harnesses) if not already equipped with ABS; and will revise plc programming. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-982-8400.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
