New Flyer of America is recalling approximately 246 battery electric transit buses, specifically certain 2021-2023 XE35, 2021-2023 XE40, and 2023 XE60 models. A software error can cause these buses to accelerate unexpectedly during certain driving conditions, which could lead to a crash. New Flyer will provide a free software update to correct the issue and began notifying owners by mail in February 2024.
A software malfunction can trigger unintended acceleration while the bus is in operation. This loss of speed control significantly increases the risk of a collision with other vehicles or pedestrians.
