What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

New Flyer Industries is recalling certain model year 2012 XD35 and XD40, model year 2013 XD60, XDE40 and XDE60 and model year 2012-2013 XN40 and XN60 transit buses. In the affected buses, the push-to-start button switch may have a weak return spring, allowing the engine to start unexpectedly.

The risk

If the engine starts without warning, there is an increased risk for injury to persons working on or near the engine.

The remedy

New Flyer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the switches free of charge. The recall began June 19, 2013. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's recall number is R13-014.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
