Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2021 Blue Bird All American School Bus in Canada.
On certain electric school buses, the 12 V power cables may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the cable(s) could loosen and cause a loss of power to the wheels. This could also cause the braking assist, steering assist and/or instrument cluster not to work.
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A loss of power brakes can cause an increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort. An instrument cluster that doesn't work could cause warnings, tell-tales and gauges not to display. These issues could increase the risk of a crash.
Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the 12 V power cables connections. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at a Blue Bird dealership.
On certain school buses, the roof panels may not have been attached correctly. As a result, the bus may not meet Canadian regulations for roof panel joint strength, and the panels could separate in a crash.
A roof panel that separates in a crash could create an increased risk of injury.
Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, add rivets to the joints. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at a Blue Bird dealership.
On certain school buses, the restraining barrier between the entrance door and the first seat may not meet the energy absorption requirements of Canadian regulations.
A barrier that doesn't properly absorb energy could increase the risk of injury to passengers in a crash.
Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions and a repair kit to properly secure the restraining barrier to the floor.
