NHTSA campaign 26V279000 · Part 573 safety recall report

New Flyer of America, Inc.: Electrical System › Instrument Panel › Speedometer/Odometer

New Flyer of America, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on May 1, 2026 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 4. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer) is recalling certain 2022 XE40 transit buses. The speedometer may not illuminate when the headlights are turned on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

The risk

An unlit speedometer cannot show the vehicle's speed, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

New Flyer will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 15, 2026. Owners may contact New Flyer's customer service at 1-800-241-2947.

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 26V279000.
