What NHTSA recorded

On certain school and transit buses equipped with caterpillar 3126e engines and felsted electronic pedal assemblies, an internal return spring on the throttle position sensor was incorrectly manufactured. The spring, which is too long, cuts a trace into the printed circuit board causing the sensor to fail.

Possible consequence

This will cause the engine to return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the throttle position sensors. Any chafed brake hoses will be replaced. Owner notification began december 12, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
