The short version

NEW FLYER INDUSTRIES LTD reported a problem with the propulsion system traction battery. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

OVER TIME PARTICULATE DEBRIS CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE LITHIUM-ION ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (ESS), AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH MOISTURE, CAN BREACH THE ELECTRICAL ISOLATION OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY PACK. A CONDUCTIVE PATH CAN BE CREATED IF THE ELECTRICAL ISOLATION IS BREACHED AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BATTERY.

WHY IT MATTERS

IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE OF THE BATTERY’S STORED ENERGY CAN RESULT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.

WHAT TO DO

NEW FLYER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ELECTRICAL CONTACTOR AND MODIFY THE LI-ION ESS, FREE OF CHARGE.
