Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling approximately 150 of its 2021-2026 Vision school buses because the brake interlock software may unintentionally activate the parking brake while the vehicle is being driven at any speed. This defect can cause the bus to come to a sudden stop without warning. Blue Bird dealers will update the brake interlock software free of charge to resolve the safety risk.

Risk

The parking brake may engage unexpectedly during driving, causing the bus to stop suddenly and without warning. This increases the risk of a crash, particularly for following vehicles that may not be able to stop in time.
