Recall 96V011000

Electrical System › Wiring › Fuses And Circuit Breakers — Blue Bird · reported 23 Jan 1996 · 307 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

THE WRONG CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS INSTALLED IN THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF THE 8-LIGHT WARNING SYSTEM.

The risk

THE 8-LIGHT WARNING SYSTEM WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE DISCHARGING PASSENGERS INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR AN EXITING PASSENGER BEING STRUCK BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.

The fix

OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED TO CHECK AND REPLACE AS NECESSARY THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. OWNERS CAN ALSO HAVE THESE CIRCUIT BREAKERS CHECKED AND REPLACED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER.

SYSTEM: ELECTRICAL; FUSE AND RECEPTICLE; CIRCUIT BREAKER. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SCHOOL BUSES, SCHOOL BUS CHASSIS AND SCHOOL BUS VAN CONVERSIONS WITH OPTION 2016-03 (8-LIGHT WARNING SYSTEM) AND BUILT IN CANADA. NOTE: OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, SHOULD CONTACT BLUE BIRD AT 1-912-825-2021. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-800-424-9393.
