- Defect:
- 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.

- Consequence:
- If the rear bus door opens unexpectedly while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.
- Correction:
- New flyer will notify owners, and dealers will install a firmware upgrade, and replace the roller bracket plates, free of charge. the recall began on may 4, 2016. owners may contact new flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. new flyer's number for this recall is r16-005.

- Defect:

- Consequence:
- Breakage of the guide pin can cause a reduction of braking ability and an increase in stopping distances, or a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- New flyer will notify owners, and dealers will install a bushing kit and reinstall the brake calipers, free of charge. the recall began june 29, 2018. owners may contact new flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. new flyer's number for this recall is r18-010.
