What happened

New Flyer of America is recalling certain 2017 XD40, XDE40, XN40, XT60, and 2016-2017 XDE60 transit buses due to a brake system defect. The air brake hose connections for the front axle ABS modulator valves may not be properly tightened, which could cause the brake hose to disconnect. If this occurs, no brake force will be applied to either of the front axle brake assemblies, which would lengthen braking distance and increase the risk of a crash.

New Flyer will notify affected bus owners and will reconnect the air hose using proper tightness at no charge. The recall began on January 11, 2018. Owners of affected buses should contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706 and reference recall number R18-001.
