NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Vision school buses, designed to run on propane. The fuel control valve solenoid may short circuit, shutting off the flow of propane to the engine, causing the engine to shut off.
The risk
An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers for Roush CleanTech, the supplier of the propane fuel kit, will replace the defective fuel control valve solenoids, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owners may contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for recall is R17ZA (SB).
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
