Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Blue Bird Corporation is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2013 All American and Vision school buses manufactured from May 30, 2009, through April 4, 2012, that are equipped with air brakes. The primary and secondary air brake lines may have been incorrectly crossed at the brake treadle valve during installation, which fails to meet federal safety standards. If a brake system problem occurs, this incorrect installation could reduce or completely eliminate brake action, increasing the risk of a crash.
Blue Bird will notify owners of affected buses, and authorized dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2012. Owners of potentially affected buses should contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242.
