What is wrong
Blue bird is recalling certain model year 2004 through 2006 vision conventional style non school buses manufactured from june 26, 2003, through december 9, 2004. The starter cable may contact and potentially chafe against the steel braided power steering hose thereby creating a direct short.
What could happen
A short could result in a fire.
The fix
Blue bird will notify owners and dealers will inspect the subject buses for proper clearance between the starter cable and the power steering hose. Buses found to have insufficient clearance will have a clamp installed to prevent further contact. Any damaged power steering hoses or starter cables will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about may 10, 2011. Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
