2005–2006 New Flyer Invero recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain transit buses, there is a potential for passenger clothing (drawstrings, straps, etc.) to unknowingly become caught as the passenger exits the rear door of the bus.
💥 The risk
If passenger clothing is caught and not noticed by the driver before he/she pulls away, there is the potential that the passenger could be dragged by the bus, causing serious injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will attach new hardware (guard assemblies) at the upper and lower stanchion rails where they attach to the doorway rear pillar assembly. The recall began on october 5, 2006. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4874.
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.)
