An official Health Canada notice concerns New flyer. On certain vehicles, an inspection panel located above the driveshaft, in the passenger compartment flooring, may not be of sufficient strength to prevent foreign matter from entering the passenger area in the event of a driveshaft failure. Although New Flyer previously attempted to remedy this problem by installed energy absorbing honeycomb material to the underside of the access panel, this fix was inadequate. Failure of the driveshaft access panel to maintain passenger compartment integrity could result in personal injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will remove the energy absorbing material from the access panel and install a steel plate. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2010056. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign will also need to be repaired under this campaign. Published 2013-02-11.
