Recalls
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.
ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES, THE U-JOINT ASSEMBLIES HAVE INADEQUATE SPLINE ENGAGEMENT ON ONE OF THE TWO END YOKES.
ON CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES, THE CENTER AXLE WHEEL END BRAKES MAY NOT RELEASE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE SERVICE BRAKE RELEASE TIMING AND PARK BRAKE APPLY TIMING ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARD.
Whether a recall was fixed on a particular car is known only to the manufacturer: check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
