EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
- The defect
- New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2013-2027 buses. Please see the complete list of models above. The instrument panel indicator light may not illuminate when the hazard warning lights are on and the master run switch is in the 'Off' position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Without the illuminated reminder, the driver may fail to turn off the exterior lights when no longer needed. Hazard warning lights that remain activated unintentionally can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- New Flyer will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 20, 2026. Owners may contact New Flyer's customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
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 693 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% of the 19,872 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2013 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 13 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
New Flyer vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 2 times before this, most recently in February 2007 as 07V068000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 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 October 5, 2026 as campaign 26V644000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
