2023 Blue Bird Vision School BUS recall: other
⚠️ What's wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision school buses. The incorrect pins were installed on the air stop arm, which may cause it to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
💥 The risk
An inoperative stop arm increases the risk of injury during the boarding and deboarding process of the bus.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a service pigtail connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 8, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22BT.
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.)
