2017–2018 Blue Bird Vision recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Vision school buses, designed to run on propane. The fuel control valve solenoid may short circuit, shutting off the flow of propane to the engine, causing the engine to shut off.
💥 The risk
An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers for Roush CleanTech, the supplier of the propane fuel kit, will replace the defective fuel control valve solenoids, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owners may contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for recall is R17ZA (SB).
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
