New Flyer recall: Equipment
What is wrong
New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2015-2017 New Flyer XD40 and XN60, 2015 XD60 and XDE40 and 2013-2017 XN40 vehicles, equipped with certain Kidde Technologies, Inc. (KTI) KDS-25 fire extinguishers as part of the optional fire suppression system. The actuator of the extinguisher may not function properly, preventing the fire extinguisher from discharging the fire suppression agent in the event of a fire.
What could happen
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

New Flyer has notified owners, and KTI will inspect the fire suppression systems and replace the electrical piston actuators, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2018.
