SEATS
If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
If the engine oil comes into contact with hot surfaces, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
If the brakes drag, they may overheat, possibly resulting in a fire.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE PROPULSION OR VEHICLE STALL, EITHER OF WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Two 2011 NEW FLYER XN40s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
