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

Agency Publication Date: October 5, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 25 of its 2022-2023 Vision transit buses equipped with 7.3L gasoline engines. In these vehicles, the transmission shift cable may be positioned too close to the gasoline fuel supply line at the back left corner of the engine. Over time, this contact can cause damage to the fuel line and lead to a gasoline leak. If a fuel leak occurs near an ignition source, it could cause a fire. Authorized dealers will inspect the clearance and reroute the transmission cable for free to prevent this issue.

Risk

The proximity of the transmission shift cable to the fuel supply line can lead to structural wear on the fuel line, resulting in a leak. A gasoline leak in the presence of engine heat or other ignition sources significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2022-2023 Blue Bird Vision transit bus equipped with a 7.3L gasoline engine.
  2. Contact a Blue Bird authorized dealer to schedule a free inspection and rerouting of the transmission shift cable.
  3. If you have questions for the manufacturer, contact Blue Bird's customer service department at 1-478-822-2242 and reference recall number R22CB (NSB).
