Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2006-2021 Vision and 2007-2013 All American school buses due to a parking brake system defect. The floor-mounted parking brake may not hold the vehicle stationary on an incline when loaded to maximum weight because the brake application force is set too low. This condition increases the risk of unintended vehicle movement and potential crashes, and the vehicles do not meet federal brake safety standards.
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the parking brake application force hand lever assembly at no charge, with recalls expected to begin June 24, 2020. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Blue Bird customer service at 478-822-2242 and reference recall number R20AO-SB.
