2004 New Flyer L40LF recalls
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.
Recall 05V-370: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain transit buses, hydraulic fluid can leak at the flange fitting due to improper installation procedures. Incorrect installation procedures may cause damage to the o-ring of the flange assembly, compromising the sealing capability of the o-ring.
Risk: Leaks caused due to damaged o-rings could cause hydraulic fluid to be sprayed onto hot surfaces and ignite.
Fix: New flyer will contact customers with parts and instructions on how to complete this recall. The recall began on august 30, 2005. Owners may contact new flyer at 204-934-4874.
