2005–2010 New Flyer GE40LF & 2008–2010 New Flyer GE35LFR + 4 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
New flyer is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 heavy duty transit buses. The three retaining bolts for the output flange on the ise propulsion system are subject to fatigue failure. Failure of the three bolts retaining the output flange to the combination gear box on the ise propulsion system could result in a separation of a portion of the driveshaft, with the output flange attached, from the vehicle.
💥 The risk
Separation of the driveshaft and output flange from the vehicle creates the potential for bodily injury of bystanders and/or property damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the drive line components and replace the output flange bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on august 18, 2011. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4876.
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.)
