Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2015 New Flyer Xd40 in Canada.
Certain transit buses may not have enough emergency exits or the exits may be in the wrong location. As a result, the buses don't meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.
Missing or incorrectly located emergency exits could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could increase the risk of injury.
New Flyer will notify owners in writing. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
On certain buses, the software for the Electric Transit Operator (ETO) control module which controls the rear passenger exit door may contain an error. This could result in a higher than required output torque from the ETO control module when the door is in a fully open position, which over time may result in a fracture of the rear door roller plate. If the roller plate fails there is a potential for the rear door to open inadvertently while the bus is in motion, which would increase the risk for injury to vehicle occupants, and/or result in damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ETO control module, and replace both rear door roller plates with more robust versions.
A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain buses equipped with a Recaro ERGO-M driver seats may be missing welds on the seat structure. As a result, the seatbelt anchorage assembly could separate from the seat structure in the event of a crash, which would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect for missing welds and if required replace the J-brackets.
