What's wrong

New Flyer Industries Canada ULC (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2009 C35LF and L40LFR, model year 2009-2012 C35LFR, model year 2008-2013 C40LF and C40LFR, model year 2013 XN35, model year 2011-2013 XN40 and model year 2012-2013 XN60 transit buses equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G engines. In the affected vehicles, condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.

Consequence

The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

Remedy

New Flyer will notify owners, and authorized Cummins Inc. and Cummins Wesport Inc. facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began on March 21, 2014. Customers may contact New Flyer at 1-204-934-4876 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357. New Flyer's number associated with this recall is R14-006.
