Service bulletin TSIB 15-07

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Alternator Power Cable Support Inspections New Flyer has observed several instances of chafing of the alternator power cable installations in certain of customers’ vehicles. New Flyer is issuing this Technical Service Information Bulleting to notify its customers of the potential for this chafing to occur in certain circumstances. In order to prevent chafing, New Flyer reminds customers that the inspection procedures described in the New Flyer Service Manuals relating to its vehicles must be followed before chafing issues manifest themselves and require extensive and/or expensive repairs. The inspection of alternator power cables is located in the Preventative Maintenance section of the New Flyer Service Manual for the vehicle and is to be conducted during every 6,000 mile (9,600km) inspection.
