NHTSA #18V394000Reported June 12, 2018 · New Flyer of America Inc.
Potentially affected: 908 vehicles
Defect description
New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2014-2016 New Flyer XT60, 2014-2017 New Flyer XN60 and XD60, and 2015-2017 New Flyer XDE60 urban transit buses equipped with ZF Axles that have radial air disk brakes.
