New Flyer Industries Ltd. reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 4, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 70. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
New Flyer Industries Ltd. (New Flyer) is recalling certain model year 2014 NABI 42BRT transit buses manufactured from December 19, 2014, through June 6, 2015, and 2014-2015 NABI 40LFW transit buses manufactured from September 11, 2014, through June 3, 2015. The affected buses are powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) and are equipped with pressure relief devices (PRD) that may not function as designed, failing to vent a buildup of pressure, such as could occur if the CNG tank was exposed to fire.
The risk
If the PRD does not activate in the event of a build up of pressure, the CNG tank may explode, increasing the risk of fire and injury.
The remedy
New Flyer has notified owners, and Agility, supplier of the CNG system, will replace the PRDs, free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2015. Owners may contact New Flyer customer service at 1-204-224-1251. New Flyer's number for this recall is R15-012.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V485000.
