Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
New Flyer of America is recalling certain transit buses from model years 2009 through 2012, specifically the XDE40, XD35, XDE35, XD40, and XN40 models that were manufactured between January 2010 and December 2011 and equipped with a Parker-Hannifin (Vansco) instrument panel. The recalled buses have a defect in the instrument panel's programming that can prevent warning lights from illuminating when the engine receives multiple error messages from the powertrain, potentially causing the engine to shut down or enter a safety mode while the bus is in operation.
An engine shutdown or stall while driving increases the risk of a crash. To address this issue, New Flyer will reprogram the instrument panel and upload corrected software at no cost to owners. The recall began on January 9, 2012. Owners of affected buses should contact New Flyer at 1-204-934-4876 to arrange for the free reprogramming service.
