Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

The defect: New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2014 MD30, XD40, XD60, XDE40, and XDE60 transit buses. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
The risk: If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy: New Flyer will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel filter with a new one, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-934-4876 or Cummins customer service at 1-812-377-3713. New Flyer's number for this recall is R14-018.
