What happened

New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2008–2014 buses equipped with Cummins Westport ISL G engines. The vehicles affected include C35LFR, C40LF, C40LFR, L40LFR, C35LF, XN35, XN40, and XN60 models. Excessive engine crankcase pressures can cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, which may allow engine oil to contact hot engine surfaces and increase the risk of vehicle fire.

Cummins will notify owners and perform the repairs free of charge at Cummins service centers. The repairs involve securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module with new software to adjust engine output under misfire conditions and limit crankcase pressures. Owners should contact New Flyer customer service at (204) 224-6706 for recall number R15-007.
