Defect SummaryNew flyer is recalling 431 my 1996-2001 d60hf diesel transit buses equipped with a rooftop air conditioning evaporator. the evaporator drain lines make contact with components (ballast assemblies) within the interior lighting panel below the drain line port. this can result in either damage to the drain line, which introduces moisture into the lighting panel, or restriction of the line which results in a back-up and overflow of moisture through the fresh air return vent and back into the lighting panel.
Consequence SummaryMoisture in sufficient quantities within the lighting panel may result in a shorting of the electrical components and a vehicle fire.
Corrective SummaryNew flyer will incorporate an elbow fitting into the drain line where it enters the lighting panel from the roof, which will promote clearance between the line and the ballast assembly. the recall began on february 6, 2008. owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4803.

 This investigation was prompted by a transit fleet, which informed odi in november, 2003, that they were experiencing brake problems on their high floor articulating style buses.in the letter, the fleet stated that they had experienced over 50 incidents where the rear brakes failed to release during morning pullout from their parking location.they alleged that there had been three crashes resulting in property damge as the result of this sticking brake phenomenon.the crashes originate when the middle axle brakes fail to release and the rear engine vehicle pushes the middle axle resulting in a jack-knife condition of the articulated bus. as a result of odi'sinvestigation, new flyer has agreed to initiate a safety recall and correct this condition on all affected buses.the action taken by new flyer is sufficient to resolve the issue raised by this investigation. a copy of the recallis attached.accordingly, this investigation is closed.
