Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2008 New Flyer D40lf in Canada.
On certain vehicles, an inspection panel located above the driveshaft, in the passenger compartment flooring, may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger area in the event of a driveshaft failure. Although New Flyer previously attempted to remedy this problem by installed energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel, this fix was inadequate. Failure of the driveshaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will remove the energy absorbing material from the access panel and install a steel plate. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2010056. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign.

On certain transit buses, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) may overheat and suffer intermittent failure. As a result the transmission may slip into neutral , and afterward be unable to return into gear. The resultant loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Also, ECM failure could affect the lighting system, specifically the brake and signal lamps. As a result, the driver's intentions to turn or brake may not be conveyed clearly to other road users, causing a risk to vehicle safety, which could result in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the ECM.
