The hazard
On certain transit buses, a software problem could cause the antilock braking system (ABS) warning light not to turn on if there's a problem with the ABS.
A warning light that doesn't turn on could cause you not to be aware of a problem with the ABS. This could increase the risk of a crash.
What to do
New Flyer will notify owners in writing and provide you with instructions for how to update the vehicle software. Alternatively, you may contact New Flyer to arrange for a service team to perform the repairs.
