New Flyer Industries Ltd.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 D40I transit buses manufactured January 14, 2005, through October 19, 2006, and equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers and DC-DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.

Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy: New Flyer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the equalizers and converters, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2013. Owners may contact New Flyer at 1-204-982-8400. New Flyer's recall number is R13-021. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
