Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 2 affected 2023 All American school buses because of a defect in the engine control module (ECM). The ECM may experience an internal short-circuit, which can cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly while the bus is in motion. This failure prevents the vehicle from being restarted, potentially leaving passengers stranded in unsafe traffic conditions. Blue Bird dealers will replace the ECM and update the bus software for free to resolve the issue.
An unexpected engine shutdown while driving can cause a sudden loss of motive power, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. If the bus becomes disabled in an uncontrolled traffic situation, emergency evacuation of passengers may be required, which increases the risk of injury.
