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.

1997 New Flyer D60HF recalls, newest first

February 5, 2008NHTSA 08V053000431 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment › Appliance › Air conditioner

Summary
New flyer is recalling 431 my 1996-2001 D60HF diesel transit buses equipped with a rooftop air conditioning evaporator. The evaporator drain lines make contact with components (ballast assemblies) within the interior lighting panel below the drain line port. This can result in either damage to the drain line, which introduces moisture into the lighting panel, or restriction of the line which results in a back-up and overflow of moisture through the fresh air return vent and back into the lighting panel.
Consequence
Moisture in sufficient quantities within the lighting panel may result in a shorting of the electrical components and a vehicle fire.
Remedy
New flyer will incorporate an elbow fitting into the drain line where it enters the lighting panel from the roof, which will promote clearance between the line and the ballast assembly. The recall began on February 6, 2008. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4803.

Exterior lighting

Summary
Certain transit buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." the flashing deceleration lamps were an optional item for some of these buses.

The standard requires that the deceleration lamp is a solid light rather than a flashing light.
Remedy
Dealers will rewire the electrical system to remove the flashing function or install a new programmable logic controller (plc) which will make the lamps burn steady free of charge. The recall began on March 5, 2007. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4874.
