Defect Description
New Flyer Industries is recalling certain model year 2012 XN40 transit buses manufactured October 30, 2012, through November 27, 2012, and equipped with certain Sportworks Northwest Apex 3 bicycle racks. In the affected racks, cracks may develop where the latch tube is welded to the pivot tabs connected to the frame. Over time, the cracks may lead to separation of the latch tube and latch handle.
Safety Consequence
If the latch handle and tube fall from the rack it would create a potential road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
New Flyer will notify owners and Sportworks Northwest will replace the frames under warranty, free of charge. The recall began on October 30, 2013. Owners may contact New Flyer at 1-800-665-2637 or Sportworks at 1-888-861-0555 ext. 2. New Flyer's campaign number is R13-022.
