Reported risk: Issue:
On a small number of transit buses, the recall repairs completed during recall R23-002 (Transport Canada recall number 2023-073) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair is required.
On a small number of transit buses, the automatic drain valves inside the energy storage system (ESS) may not work properly. As a result, liquid could build up inside the ESS and cause a short circuit.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
New Flyer will notify owners by email and provide you with instructions for how to remove the rubber washer from the drain valves. Alternatively, New Flyer will arrange for a service team to complete the recall repairs. New Flyer advises that if a yellow "LOW COOLANT" or a red "CRITICALLY LOW COOLANT" warning displays on the dash, all ESSs must be inspected immediately.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
