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#2019556November 6, 2019
Recall update: After the initial notification, Blue Bird determined that no vehicles with this defect were sold in Canada.<br><br> Issue: On certain buses equipped with a Ford engine and air brakes, the brake switch mounting bracket could deform. If this happens, the brake lights may stay on. Note: This would also cause the brake warning light in the instrument cluster to turn on. Safety Risk: Brake lights that stay on could cause other road users not to recognize when the bus is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an active brake warning light may lead a driver to park the bus immediately. This could result in the transfer of passengers to another bus in an uncontrolled environment. Corrective Actions: Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide them with a redesigned brake switch mounting bracket and a replacement brake switch. They will provide instructions for how to remove and replace the bracket and brake switch. Until the recall has been completed, drivers should confirm that the brake lights do not stay on during their pre-trip inspection.
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.
Electrical#2018617November 7, 2018
7 units affected
On certain buses, the alternator cables may contact and chafe against the air conditioning support bracket or vehicle structure. This could damage the wires and cause an electrical short, potentially causing the engine to stall without the ability to restart and could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and re-position the alternator cables as necessary to ensure proper clearance.
