What NHTSA recorded

On certain low floor transit buses, the custom wheel paint thickness was out of specification and the wheel paint type changes from a glass state to a rubber state around the brake temperatures.

Possible consequence

This can result in a loss of wheel nut torque, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

New flyer dealers will replace the wheels, wheel studs, and modify the front air brake circuit to reduce the rear wheel brake temperature. Owner notification began june 30, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact new flyer at 1-204-224-6351.
