What NHTSA recorded

Blue bird is recalling 1,709 model year 2009 and 2010 all american front engine school buses manufactured from february 27, 2007 through july 2, 2009, equipped with "07" engines, air brakes and spring suspensions. When the bus is loaded with passengers, the springs compress which could allow the air brake hose to contact the drive line.

Possible consequence

Repeated contact of the air brake hose on the drive line may cause the air brake hose to rupture reducing the braking capacity which could result in a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Blue bird will notify owners and repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on september 23, 2009. Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-422-2242.
