What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2009 through 2012 Vision school buses manufactured between October 7, 2008, and January 19, 2011, that are equipped with an optional fuel filter located on the driver's control module. Due to routing and clamping variations, the fuel line on affected units may contact and chafe against the body-mounted transmission cover, potentially resulting in a fuel leak and fire.

Blue Bird will notify owners and dealers will inspect affected buses for fuel line contact or rubbing with the transmission cover. Any fuel lines found to be contacting or rubbing will be repositioned, and any damaged fuel filter hoses will be replaced at no charge. Owners may contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242.
