Blue Bird recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2024-2025 All American school buses. Due to incorrect wiring, the high and low beams are reversed, causing the high beam indicator to illuminate incorrectly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What could happen
The operator may inadvertently activate the high beams, affecting the vision of other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters were mailed February 14, 2025. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R25DH (SB).
