What happened

New Flyer Industries is recalling certain transit buses from model years 2005 through 2007 with specific model designations including L40LF, DE60LF, C35LF, C40LF, D35LF, D40LF, D60LF, and several other variants. These vehicles are equipped with MAN V8-65L axle beams that may develop cracks on the upper and/or lower surface. If these cracks worsen over time, the axle beam can fail, which would cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

New Flyer will notify owners of affected buses, and dealers will inspect the axle beams to determine what repairs are necessary, with all repairs provided free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2017. Owners should contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706 and reference recall number R17-002.
