Recall Summary:
New flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 transit buses. These models have an inspection panel located above the drive shaft in the passenger compartment flooring for easy inspection and removal of the drive shaft. This panel may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a drive shaft failure.
How to Fix:
Dealers will incorporate an energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on March 10, 2010. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4874.
