What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES, THE CENTER AXLE WHEEL END BRAKES MAY NOT RELEASE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

The risk

THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM A PARKED POSITION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

The remedy

NEW FLYER WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL AIR SYSTEM R14 RELAY VALVE, #4 NOTCH AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTERS, AND TYPE 30 LONG STOKE BRAKE CHAMBERS ON THE CENTER AXLE; THE LOGIC CONTROL MODULE WILL BE REPROGRAMMED, ADD NEW ABS COMPONENTS (SENSORS, SPEED RINGS AND HARNESSES) IF NOT ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH ABS; AND WILL REVISE PLC PROGRAMMING. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NEW FLYER AT 1-204-982-8400.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A 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.
