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 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.
