Reported October 5, 2026 · New Flyer of America, Inc.

Potentially affected: 693 vehicles

Defect description

Safety consequence

Without the illuminated reminder, the driver may fail to turn off the exterior lights when no longer needed. Hazard warning lights that remain activated unintentionally can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
