Recall number 12V591000 · Recall details

Power train: driveline: driveshaftReported March 9, 2010 · 1,845 vehicles affected

What is wrong: New flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 transit buses. These models have an inspection panel located above the drive shaft in the passenger compartment flooring for easy inspection and removal of the drive shaft. This panel may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a drive shaft failure.
Risk: Failure of the drive shaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will incorporate an energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 10, 2010. Owners may contact new flyer at 204‑934‑4874.

Recall number 10V089000 · Recall details

Electrical system: alternator/generator/regulatorReported November 7, 2008 · 1,001 vehicles affected

What is wrong: New flyer is recalling 1,001 my 2004-2007 d40lf, my 2005 d40lfr, and my 2007-2008 d60lfr transit buses equipped with ce niehoff c701a or c703a alternators. Failure of the forward alternator bearing may result in a drop and seizure of the rotating alternator shaft and pulley. Once the pulley is stationary, the alternator drive belt continues to pass over the pulley creating high quantities of belt dust.
Risk: Due to the very high internal temperatures created at the bearing during shaft seizure, the belt dust may ignite, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Remedy: To increase the potential longevity of the alternator bearings, dealers will incorporate a lower tension belt tensioner and a narrower belt. To prevent thermal ignition in the event of a bearing failure, a lighter duty, narrower belt will shred rather than continue to run over the stationary pulley. The recall began on november 17, 2008. Owners may contact new flyer at 1‑204‑934‑4803.
