2000–2004 New Flyer C40LF & 2000–2003 New Flyer D40LF + 6 more recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." the flashing deceleration lamps were an optional item for some of these buses.
💥 The risk
The standard requires that the deceleration lamp is a solid light rather than a flashing light.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will rewire the electrical system to remove the flashing function or install a new programmable logic controller (plc) which will make the lamps burn steady free of charge. The recall began on march 5, 2007. Owners may contact new flyer at 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.)
