2004 New Flyer GE40LF recalls
Recall 06V-034: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: On certain transit buses, the spot welds which hold the wheelchair ramp hinge assembly together can fail allowing the ramp to separate, when deployed under load, from the bus frame.
Risk: Separation of the ramp from the vehicle could result in injury to passengers on the ramp.
Fix: Dealers will add new hardware to the hinges which will make the spot-welding redundant. The recall began on february 15, 2006. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4874.
Recall 06V-015: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain transit buses equipped with relay valves built by haldex/midland and distributed by meritor/wabco with valve body date code of 342a4k. This valve, which is installed in the rear axle air brake circuit, can fail resulting in a loss of air pressure to the rear service brakes.
Risk: Failure of the valve would disable the rear axle service brake circuit and result in extended stopping distances which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect to see if the installed relay valve has a date code of 342a4k and if necessary will replace the valve free of charge. The recall began on january 25, 2006. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4803.
