What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence
The operator could place the engine switch in a position other than that intended, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Owners will be provided with new decals and installation instructions. Owner notification began august 29, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free label and installation instructions within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
