New Flyer Recalls 2014 Transit Buses Due to Fuel Filter Defect

New Flyer is recalling 2014 transit buses because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

New Flyer Industries Ltd. is recalling certain model year 2014 MD30, XD40, XD60, XDE40, and XDE60 transit buses. The recall involves 39 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB or ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).

The defect involves the filter shell potentially separating from the fuel filter nut plate. This separation can cause the engine to stall without warning, which increases the risk of a crash.

New Flyer will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel filter with a new one free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-934-4876 or Cummins customer service at 1-812-377-3713. New Flyer's number for this recall is R14-018.
