New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 219 electric buses, including 2021-2022 XE35, 2021-2023 XE40, and 2021-2022 XE60 models. The recall is due to a defect where liquid can collect inside the battery pack enclosures. If liquid accumulates, it can cause an electrical short, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will resolve the issue by adding drainage holes and automatic drain valves to each battery enclosure at no cost to the owner.
Liquid buildup within the battery enclosure can bridge electrical components, causing a short circuit. This condition creates a high risk of fire, which could lead to vehicle damage or injuries, particularly if the vehicle is parked near structures.
Dealers will add four holes and automatic activating drain valves to each battery pack enclosure.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
