- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/2003 - 03/30/2006
- Affected:
- 798
- Defect:
- 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.
- Correction:
- 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.

- Campaign:
- 08V586000 on 11/06/2008
- Component:
- Electrical system:alternator/generator/regulator
- Manufactured:
- 11/15/2004 - 03/27/2008
- Affected:
- 1,001
- Defect:
- 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.
- Correction:
- 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.
- Notes:
- New flyer recall no. r08-016.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
