8 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 2006 New Flyer D40LF. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

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.

November 7, 2008NHTSA 08V5860001,001 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system › Alternator/generator/regulator

Summary
New flyer is recalling 1,001 my 2004-2007 D40LF, my 2005 D40LFR, and my 2007-2008 D60LFR transit buses equipped with ce niehoff C701A or C703A alternators. Failure of the forward alternator bearing may result in a drop and seizure of the rotating alternator shaft and pulley. Once the pulley is stationary, the alternator drive belt continues to pass over the pulley creating high quantities of belt dust.
Consequence
Due to the very high internal temperatures created at the bearing during shaft seizure, the belt dust may ignite, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Remedy
To increase the potential longevity of the alternator bearings, dealers will incorporate a lower tension belt tensioner and a narrower belt. To prevent thermal ignition in the event of a bearing failure, a lighter duty, narrower belt will shred rather than continue to run over the stationary pulley. The recall began on November 17, 2008. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4803.

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary
On certain transit buses built with cummins isl and isc diesel engines equipped with the CM850 fuel system, the engine high pressure fuel lines, from the engine high pressure pump to the engine fuel rail, are prone to failure.
Consequence
Failure of the line introduces high pressure fuel spray into the engine compartment which can ignite when it comes in contact with a hot surface.
Remedy
Cummins will install a fuel line bracket to reduce fuel line stress. A new fuel line will be installed when adding the bracket. Customers may contact cummins at 1-800-diesels or new flyer at 204-934-4876.
