2006–2009 New Flyer D40LF & 2006–2009 New Flyer DE40LFR + 13 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
New flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 transit buses. These models have an inspection panel located above the drive shaft in the passenger compartment flooring for easy inspection and removal of the drive shaft. This panel may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a drive shaft failure.
💥 The risk
Failure of the drive shaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will incorporate an energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 10, 2010. 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.)
