NEW FLYER ( 10V605000 ) | Recall Aware

Here!
So, actually the 2000s, 2200s,-2800s (minus 2400s and 2561-2562) are the buses in TriMet's fleet that may be affected...
And an Explanation....
"Wonder if this includes the 2900s ?

------------------------
No, If you clicked the "Source" link in what you linked to, it gives the model
numbers effected, which are D40LF, DE60LF, and the E40LFR. The 2900s are
D40LFR. The 2000s, 2200-2800s (minus 2400s) are all D40LF, except 2561-2562 are
DE40LF.


New Flyer works Like this, The letter(s) before the number are the engine type,
such as D=Diesel, DE=Diesel Electric (Hybrids), then, the number is the length
in feet, followed by LF for Low Floor, and R means Restyled, that curvy front
end design the 2900s have. There is also an A ending which is for BRT, like
Eugenes EmX and King County Metros Rapid Ride buses.
