Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2005 Blue Bird Vision Non-School Bus in Canada.
On certain buses, the starter cable may have been incorrectly routed and could chafe against the steel braided power steering hose. Continued contact could wear through the power cable's insulation, which could result in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install a clamp to prevent further contact. Damaged power steering hoses or starter cables will be replaced.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain buses, the ammeter shunt power cable is too short and may break due to material fatigue from engine vibration. In the event the power cable should break, the engine may shut down while in operation. Correction: Dealers will install a longer power cable and upgrade the ammeter shunt mounting.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain school and non-school buses, an electrical short could occur in the crossing arm circuit or the 8-way warning light circuit, causing the MOSFET (a heavy duty transistor with built in circuit protection) to trip, resulting in an inadvertent engine shutdown. Non school bus Vision conventional buses are being included in the recall population to eliminate the ready accessibility of this ignition sensitive circuit to post delivery accessory additions. Correction: Dealers will relocate these circuits to a separate circuit protected by a breaker on school bus units with crossing arm and/or 8-way warning light. On non-school bus units, the hot wire from the body connector to the terminal block will be removed.
