What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2016-2020 Blue Bird Vision transit buses equipped with Ford 6.8L V10 engines. These buses may have improperly routed hydraulic brake lines or transmission shifter cables, which can cause brake lines to be exposed to excessive heat and leak hydraulic brake fluid. The transmission shifter cable could also contact the gasoline fuel supply line, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. Either condition increases the risk of fire.

Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to insulate the brake lines from excessive heat, control routing of the brake lines, and secure the transmission shifter cable away from the fuel line, all free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019. Affected consumers should contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 to arrange the repair, referencing recall number R19ZV-NSB.
