An unexpected release of CNG gas in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory.
1 campaign covering the 2016 NEW FLYER XN60 carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
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.
An unexpected release of CNG gas in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
An ABS or ESC warning light that fails to illuminate will not alert the driver to the loss of ABS or ESC, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
Breakage of the guide pin can cause a reduction of braking ability and an increase in stopping distances, or a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the rear bus door opens unexpectedly while the bus is in motion, there is an increased risk of injury for the passengers.
Two 2016 NEW FLYER XN60s 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.
