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 1,196 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2026, 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 electrical system 11 times before this, most recently in September 2025 as 25V631000. 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), 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V631000 (electrical system), 25V566000 (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 March 13, 2026 as campaign 26V151000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
