What's wrong

The risk

A loss of brake assist, drive power, steering assist, or instrument panel displays can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect, add a torque stripe, and properly tighten the 12-volt cable as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 17, 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
