New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling 655 transit buses, including model year 2019 and 2021-2025 XE35, and model year 2021-2025 XE40 and XE60 buses. The high-voltage battery system in these vehicles can experience a short circuit within the battery module when the bus is charged to near or full capacity. New Flyer will replace the batteries for free through a phased campaign starting in March 2026.
A short circuit in the high-voltage battery significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire. Because of this danger, owners must park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures to prevent fire from spreading to buildings.
