- The defect
- New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2021 XD35 and XD40 vehicles equipped with 2021 Model Year Cummins L9 Diesel Engines. The engine calibration software's management of the injection of Diesel Exhaust Fluid can allow excessive ammonia to be emitted from tailpipe exhaust.
- What it can cause
- Exposure to high levels of ammonia can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will recalibrate the engine, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 23, 2021. Owners may contact New Flyer's customer service at 1-800-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R21-013.
- 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.nhtsa.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 28 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 14 times before this, most recently in May 2015 as 15V292000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 23V722000 (power train), 23V711000 (equipment), 22V637000 (steering).
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 July 14, 2021 as campaign 21V532000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
