2023 Blue Bird Vision School Bus: Other recall
NHTSA campaign 22V279000 · 674 units potentially affected · filed Apr 27, 2022
What's wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision school buses. The incorrect pins were installed on the air stop arm, which may cause it to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
Why it matters
An inoperative stop arm increases the risk of injury during the boarding and deboarding process of the bus.
The fix
Dealers will install a service pigtail connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 8, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22BT.
