Summary

New Flyer Industries Ltd. "New Flyer" is recalling certain model year 2014 MD30, XD40, XD60, XDE40, and XDE60 transit buses. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.

Consequence

If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

New Flyer will notify owners, and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel filter with a new one, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-934-4876 or Cummins customer service at 1-812-377-3713. New Flyer's number for this recall is R14-018.
