What's wrong?
The fuel filter on the affected 2014 New Flyer XDE60, XDE40, XD60, XD40, and MD30 transit buses is part of the diesel fuel system. Its job is to clean fuel before it reaches the Cummins ISB or ISL engine, so debris stays out of the injectors and the engine gets a steady supply of fuel.
The recalled buses were equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009. In those filters, the filter shell separates from the fuel filter nut plate. When that separation happens, the engine loses the fuel flow it needs to keep running and stalls.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing says the engine stalls without warning, so the driver does not get a clear symptom ahead of the problem.
Who's affected?
Spans the XDE60, XDE40, XD60, XD40, and MD30 bus models, all tied to the same diesel fuel system component.

What's the safety risk?
An unexpected engine stall can leave the bus without power in traffic and increase the risk of a crash. If the engine stalls or runs abnormally, move out of traffic when safe and arrange recall service. Repair will be free at any franchised New Flyer dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
The recall repair described by New Flyer is a fuel filter replacement for buses equipped with the affected Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter. At the dealer, the fuel filter is removed and replaced with a new one. Parts and labor are covered under the recall once the dealer repair is available. The issue involves the filter shell separating from the fuel filter nut plate, so the replacement focuses on removing that filter from service and installing the corrected part.
