Correction:
New flyer will notify owners, and authorized cummins inc. and cummins wesport inc. facilities will upload a new ecm calibration, free of charge. the recall began on march 21, 2014. customers may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4876 or cummins inc. at 1-800-343-7357. new flyer's number associated with this recall is r14-006.

New flyer industries ltd. (new flyer) is recalling certain model year 2013 xd35, xde35, xe40, and 2013-2014 xd40, xd60, xde40, xde60, xn35, xn40, and xn60 transit buses. during installation, the brake pedal mounting plate may have been clamped between the brake pedal assembly and the brake valve actuator (bva) resulting in a misalignment and binding of the internal piston in the bva.
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 engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Correction:
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.
