The short answer

NHTSA received New Flyer Industries Ltd.’s report on Oct 25, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If the brakes drag, they may overheat, possibly resulting in a fire.

New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 transit buses, models C40LF, C40LFR, D35LFR, D40LFR, D60LFR, XD35, XD40, XDE35, XDE40, and XN40.

Air pressure may leak from the parking brake chambers causing the parking brakes to drag while the vehicle is driven.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
