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 55 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% of the 16,190 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the steering 7 times before this, most recently in September 2015 as 15V562000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V644000 (exterior lighting), 26V279000 (electrical system), 26V151000 (electrical system), 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
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 August 24, 2022 as campaign 22V637000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
