⚠️ What's wrong

New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2015-2016 XDE60, XDE40 and 2016 XDE35 transit buses equipped with specific Allison Transmission drive units. The pressure switches on these Drive Units may fail, possibly resulting in a loss of drive.

💥 The risk

A loss of drive can disable the vehicle unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, offloading passengers to transfer them to another bus can increase the risk of injury.

🔧 The fix

New Flyer will notify owners, and Allison Transmissions will remove and replace the two C1 and C2 pressure switches on each hybrid drive motor, and also inspect and correct for debris accumulation in the associated pressure switch plumbing, free of charge. The recall began August 17, 2020. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R20-007.

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.)
