On certain transit buses, the compliance label lists incorrect information for the compressed natural gas (CNG) system. This includes the total water volume, the system check date and the "do not fill after" date. Additionally, the labels may be missing information in French. As a result, the incorrect or missing information could cause confusion and lead you to fill the system beyond the stated capacity and/or fill date. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine.
A CNG system that is filled beyond its capacity and/or after the fill date could increase the risk of injury.
New Flyer will notify owners by email and provide them with new labels and instructions for how to install them.
On certain vehicles, the front axle beam may have been omitted from inspection through a Magnaflux operation before final assembly and could contain cracks. These beams could exhibit a 75% reduction in component fatigue life if a crack were to develop in a high-stress location. If a beam were to fracture while the vehicle was in motion, it would affect the steering of the vehicle and could cause a loss of vehicle control. Correction: Owners notification including repair instructions forr replacement of beams with surface condition outside specifications will be supplied.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
