What happened

New Flyer of America is recalling certain 2014-2017 urban transit buses—specifically XT60, XN60, XD60, and XDE60 models equipped with ZF Axles and radial air disk brakes. The surface roughness of a guide pin in the brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break, which can reduce braking ability and increase stopping distances or cause a loss of tire pressure, raising the risk of a crash.

Owners will be notified by New Flyer, and dealers will install a bushing kit and reinstall the brake calipers at no charge. The recall began June 29, 2018. Affected owners should contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706 and reference recall number R18-010.
