2021 Blue Bird Vision School Bus - Electrical

Recall Summary Blue Bird is recalling certain 2021-2026 All American and Vision school buses because 12-volt power cables may not be properly tightened, which could cause them to loosen and result in loss of power to the wheels, brakes, steering, and instrument displays. This could increase the risk of a crash by reducing braking power, increasing steering effort, and preventing warning systems from functioning. Blue Bird will mail owners instructions to inspect and tighten the cables themselves, or owners can schedule an appointment at a Blue Bird dealership for the work.
