NHTSA Campaign 18V892000

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR

Issued by Blue Bird Body Company · Reported Dec 17, 2018 · 28 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Vision school buses equipped with Cummins ISV5.0 diesel engines with optional CP80009 air compressors. The air compressor belt may slip, reducing air output, which may result in the parking brake automatically applying.

Consequence

If the parking brake applies while the vehicle is being driven, it can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Blue Bird has notified owners, and dealers will replace the existing air compressor belt with a new shorter air compressor belt, free of charge. The recall began February 1, 2019. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R19ZW-SB.
