New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,170 transit buses, including XE and XHE series models manufactured between 2013 and 2025. A manufacturing defect involving an inadequate weld on the high voltage battery busbar, combined with incorrect software, can cause the battery module to overheat. New Flyer will inspect the batteries and replace affected modules and update the Battery Management System (BMS) software for all owners at no cost.
An overheating high voltage battery module significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire, which could lead to passenger injuries or property damage.
