What is wrong
Blue bird is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 model vision school buses manufactured from november 13, 2009, through december 15, 2010. On some buses, the hydraulic brake pedal may deform upon application which may prevent the parking brake from fully applying.
What could happen
This condition may permit the bus to roll unexpectedly when parked which could result in property damage, personal injury, or death to an individual within the path of the rolling bus.
The fix
Blue bird will notify owners and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on february 14, 2011. Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
