- The defect
- New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2021-2023 XE35, XE40, 2021-2024 XE60, and 2023-2024 XHE40 vehicles. One or more drain valves may not activate as intended, which could allow battery packs to accumulate liquid in the battery pack enclosure.
- What it can cause
- The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure may lead to an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- New Flyer will remove the rubber washer from the affected drain valves, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 14, 2024. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-6706. New Flyer's number for this recall is R24-02. This recall is in addition to NHTSA recall number 23V-083. Certain vehicles are affected by both recalls and will need to have both remedies performed.
- 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

How this campaign compares
At 337 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% 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 model years 2021 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 8 times before this, most recently in February 2023 as 23V083000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V279000 (electrical system), 26V151000 (electrical system), 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V631000 (electrical system).
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 January 31, 2024 as campaign 24V056000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
