What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2018-2019 Blue Bird All American and Vision school buses because the primary and secondary air brake gauges on the instrument cluster may intermittently display "0 PSI" instead of showing the correct air pressure in the tanks. This defect prevents operators from accurately knowing when air pressure is dropping, which increases the risk of a crash and violates federal air brake safety standards.

Blue Bird will notify owners, and authorized dealers will update the display software at no charge. The recall began on August 1, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 to arrange the software update. Blue Bird's recall number is R18ZE-SB.
