- The defect

- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- New Flyer will inspect the rail threads, and replace the rail as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 28, 2021. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R21-008.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 3,600 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 72% of the 14,952 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 487. It covers model years 2016 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel once before this, most recently in August 2014 as 14V519000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V644000 (exterior lighting), 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 23V722000 (power train), 23V711000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by New Flyer of America, Inc. with NHTSA on May 18, 2021 as campaign 21V365000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
