The affected seats have J-Brackets that may be missing welds which could allow the seat belt anchorage assembly to separate from the J-Bracket.
Risk: If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Fix: New Flyer will notify owners instructing them to inspect their seats for missing welds. Recaro will supply replacement anchorage brackets and cover the labor to replace them if any welds are missing, free of charge. The recall began on February 4, 2016.

Recall 12V-515: Visibility
Problem: New Flyer is recalling certain model year 2010 GE35LFR and GE40LFR transit buses, equipped with Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus egress window sets. The composition of the material used to cast the handle that opens the egress window is incorrect, resulting in a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released.
Risk: In the event the egress window fails during an actual emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the vehicle placing them at risk of injury.
Fix: New Flyer will notify owners, and dealers will replace the handles free of charge. The recall began on November 1, 2012. Owners may contact New Flyer at 1-204-982-8400 for more information.
Recall 11V-407: Power Train
Problem: New flyer is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 heavy duty transit buses. The three retaining bolts for the output flange on the ise propulsion system are subject to fatigue failure. Failure of the three bolts retaining the output flange to the combination gear box on the ise propulsion system could result in a separation of a portion of the driveshaft, with the output flange attached, from the vehicle.
Risk: Separation of the driveshaft and output flange from the vehicle creates the potential for bodily injury of bystanders and/or property damage.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the drive line components and replace the output flange bolts free of charge. The safety recall began on august 18, 2011. Owners may contact new flyer at 1-204-934-4876.
