On certain buses, the retaining bolts for the gearbox output flange may fatigue and fail. This could allow the driveshaft assembly to separate from the gearbox, which could damage the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached, and any additional nearby components. Should the driveshaft separate from the vehicle, it could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander. Also, driveshaft separation would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: New Flyer will provide fleet operators with directives to inspect and replace the output flange bolts. The company suggests that these bolts should henceforth be replaced, as a preventative measure, every 3 months or 12,500 km (whichever comes first).
A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain buses, the Q'Straint Max self-locking, self-tensioning, retractable wheelchair restraint system may not properly lock. This may cause the wheelchair to roll forward as the vehicle decelerates until the full length of the webbing is extended. Should this occur during heavy braking or a vehicle crash, it could result in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the Q'Straint Max restraint belts with Q'Straint Deluxe belts.
