SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
- The defect
- New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2023 XD60 and XDE60 60' articulated transit buses. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) module may lose power during hard braking, causing the ABS system to fail.
- What it can cause
- An ABS system that fails increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- New Flyer will update the ABS software and correct the wiring, free of charge. All vehicles have been repaired and therefore no owner letters will be sent. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706.
- 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 30 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 14 times before this, most recently in June 2018 as 18V394000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V053000 (fuel system, diesel), 24V425000 (fuel system, diesel), 23V898000 (vehicle speed control).
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 April 5, 2023 as campaign 23V243000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
