Blue Bird Body Company: Vision School Buses Recalled for Fuel Leak and Fire Risk

Agency Publication Date: October 5, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling approximately 2,559 model year 2022-2023 Vision school buses equipped with a 7.3L gasoline engine. In these vehicles, the transmission cable may not have enough space between it and the fuel supply line at the back left corner of the engine, which can lead to the fuel line leaking. If fuel leaks in the presence of an ignition source, it can cause a fire. Owners can take their bus to a dealer for a free inspection and rerouting of the transmission cable.

Risk

The transmission cable can rub against or interfere with the gasoline fuel supply line, causing damage that results in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the engine compartment significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire if the fuel comes into contact with hot engine components or other ignition sources.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking for 2022-2023 Blue Bird Vision school buses specifically equipped with the 7.3L gasoline engine.
  2. Contact a Blue Bird dealer to schedule a free appointment for a technician to inspect and reroute the transmission cable to ensure proper clearance from the fuel line.
  3. If you have additional questions, contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 and reference recall number R22CB (School Bus).
  4. Call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
