Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling approximately 162 Vision electric school buses from model years 2022 through 2024 that are equipped with hydraulic brakes. The system software in these vehicles may fail to detect or alert the driver if the secondary brake assist system stops working. Dealers will update the vehicle software and repair the wiring harness free of charge to ensure the safety system functions correctly.

Risk

If the secondary brake assist fails and the driver is not notified, the bus may not have the expected level of braking power, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
