What happened

New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2017 New Flyer XD40 and XN60 buses, 2015 XD60 and XDE40 buses, and 2013-2017 XN40 buses equipped with Kidde Technologies, Inc. KDS-25 fire extinguishers as part of an optional fire suppression system. The actuator in these fire extinguishers may malfunction, which could prevent the extinguisher from releasing fire suppression agent during a fire, potentially increasing the risk of injury.

New Flyer has notified owners of the recall, which began on November 29, 2018. KTI will inspect the fire suppression systems and replace the electrical piston actuators at no charge as needed. Owners should contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706 and reference recall number R18-020.
