Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2012 All American rear engine school buses manufactured from April 12, 2006, through June 27, 2011, and equipped with a 60-gallon fuel tank. The tank return line can develop a leak that exceeds the amount of fuel spillage allowed by federal safety standards, which creates a risk of fuel leaks in the presence of an ignition source that could result in a fire.
Blue Bird will notify owners of affected buses, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on March 9, 2012. Owners of affected buses may contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242.
