On certain transit buses, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) may overheat and suffer intermittent failure. As a result the transmission may slip into neutral , and afterward be unable to return into gear. The resultant loss of propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Also, ECM failure could affect the lighting system, specifically the brake and signal lamps. As a result, the driver's intentions to turn or brake may not be conveyed clearly to other road users, causing a risk to vehicle safety, which could result in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the ECM.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2008224.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the New Flyer D40lfr, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a New Flyer: 70 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
