New Flyer Transit Buses Recalled for Fuel Hose Separation Risk

New Flyer is recalling 210 transit buses because fuel filter hoses may separate, causing leaks, engine stalls, and fire risks.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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 hose separation) that explicitly increases the risk of fire and crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2024 XDE60, 2024 XD35, XD40, and XD60 transit buses equipped with Cummins L9 diesel engines. The recall involves 210 vehicles where the remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting.

This defect can cause a fuel leak and an engine stall. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, while an engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
