2021–2024 Blue Bird Vision School Bus: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 24V068000 · 5,197 units potentially affected · filed Feb 2, 2024
What's wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Vision school buses. Firmware in the multiplex module may cause the warning lights to deactivate and the stop arm to retract without warning.
Why it matters
An unintended deactivation of the warning lights and retraction of the stop arm during use increases the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix
Dealers will update the multiplex firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2024. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R24CX (SB).
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
