Transport Canada recalls

Fuel System#2024467August 13, 2024
141 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, a connection at the end of the fuel line could become damaged. As a result, fuel could leak. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with a Ford 6.8 L gasoline engine. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Blue Bird advises you to inspect the fuel line for leaks until the recall repairs have been completed. Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel line. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the inspection and repairs performed at a Blue Bird dealership.
Brakes#2020181April 27, 2020
32 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the parking brake may not have been adjusted correctly. As a result, the parking brake may not apply enough force to hold the bus when parked. Under certain conditions, like while parked on an incline, this could allow the bus to roll away. Safety Risk: A parked bus that moves unexpectedly could increase the risk injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: You should park the bus on a level surface and properly chock the wheels until the hand brake assembly has been inspected. Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to an authorized repair facility to have the floor-mounted hand brake assembly inspected and adjusted, as necessary.
Brakes#2018698December 12, 2018
11 units affected
On certain buses, the hydraulic brake lines and/or transmission shifter cable may have been incorrectly routed and could come into contact with surrounding components. If the brake lines were too close to the exhaust manifold, they could fail prematurely, resulting in hydraulic brake fluid leaking onto the manifold, and longer braking distances, increasing the risk of a crash. If the transmission shifter cable were to rub against the engine fuel supply line, it could result in a fuel leak. Both leaking brake fluid onto a hot surface and a fuel leak could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket to insulate the brake lines from heat and reroute the transmission shifter cable away from the fuel lines.
Structure#2017086February 15, 2017
40 units affected
On certain school buses, the chassis mounted battery box support brackets may develop cracks over time. If this occurs, the battery box brackets could fail, allowing the battery box to separate from the chassis and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will remove the braces on all units, add reinforcements or replace the front and rear brackets on some units with new higher strength steel, based on the matrix in the instructions.
Accessories#2016277June 2, 2016
2 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Ricon S-Series wheelchair lift, the platform could potentially crack due to bent knuckle link arms and/or defective bearing. Overtime, the platform could separate of the rear portion of the pivot plate making the lift inoperable and putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Owners will need to make an appointment with the local Ricon Dealer to have the lift inspected and repaired.
Electrical#2015132March 25, 2015
7 units affected
On certain buses equipped with Bergstom Inverters, a transistor could fail in the inverter due to an insufficient solder joint. This could result in the inverter overheating, causing smoke, and increase the risk of fire, which could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing inverter with an inverter from an alternate vendor.
