The short answer

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

What’s wrong with it?

The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure may lead to an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

New Flyer of America, Inc.

(New Flyer) is recalling certain 2021-2023 XE35, XE40, 2021-2024 XE60, and 2023-2024 XHE40 vehicles.

One or more drain valves may not activate as intended, which could allow battery packs to accumulate liquid in the battery pack enclosure.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
