Has your New Flyer been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A New Flyer dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Summary
New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 C35LFR, 2008-2013 C40LF, 2008-2013 C40LFR, 2009 L40LFR, 2009 C35LF, 2013-2014 XN35, 2011-2014 XN40, and 2012-2014 XN60 buses, equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
Consequence
If the engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Remedy
Cummins will notify owners on behalf of New Flyer, and Cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ECM) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 25, 2015. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at (204) 224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R15-007.
