New Flyer XD35 Recall 25V053: Fuel Hose Can Separate, Causing Leaks and Stalls

NHTSA campaign 25V053, reported February 3, 2025, 210 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain transit buses with Cummins L9 diesel engines may have remote fuel filter hoses that can separate from their fitting. This can cause a diesel fuel leak and an engine stall.

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source raises the risk of a fire, and an sudden engine stall increases the risk of a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and check whether their bus is affected.

Cummins will replace the fuel hoses free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 11, 2025. Contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or New Flyer customer service at 1-800-241-2947, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
