- Consequence:
- In the event of a loss of air supply pressure in the rear air reservoir, there would be a loss of service braking effect on both the front and rear axles, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- New flyer has notified owners, and dealers will inspect, and correct the air line routing, as needed, free of charge. owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-982-8400. new flyer's recall number is r13-023.

- Defect:
- New flyer industries ltd.

- Consequence:
- The binding of the piston may result in increased resistance while applying the brakes and the potential for brake drag once the brake pedal is released. these conditions increase the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- New flyer will notify owners and will replace the brake pedal mounting plate and the brake valve actuator (bva), free of charge. the recall began on september 15, 2014. owners may contact new flyer customer service at 1-204-934-4876. new flyer's number for this recall is r14-019.

- Consequence:
- If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the j-bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
