New Flyer of America, Inc. is recalling 337 buses from the 2021-2024 model years, specifically models XE35, XE40, XE60, and XHE40. The recall is due to a defect where drain valves in the battery pack enclosure may fail to activate, leading to a build-up of liquid inside the battery area. New Flyer will remove a rubber washer from the affected drain valves free of charge to ensure proper drainage and prevent hazardous accumulation.
The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure can cause an electrical short circuit. This significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire while the bus is in operation or parked.
