2008 Blue Bird Vision recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 2008 blue bird Vision school buses built from october 23 through november 21, 2006. A temporary bolt was used to secure the steering wheel during the manufacturing process. The temporary bolt was to be removed and replaced with a permanent bolt with a lock coating during the final assembly stage. The temporary bolt was not removed and replaced on the subject units, but instead the bolt was reused.
💥 The risk
Reuse of the attaching screw could allow the steering wheel to loosen during operation which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death to occupants.
🔧 The fix
Blue bird will notify owners and repair the buses by replacing the screw with a new attaching screw free of charge. The recall began on december 11, 2006. Owners may contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.
