NHTSA Campaign 22V321000

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

Issued by Blue Bird Body Company · Reported May 11, 2022 · 53 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision school buses equipped with an Allison transmission. The starter interlock settings in the vehicle software are incorrect, allowing the engine to crank while the T-handle gear shifter is in Reverse or Drive. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect."

Consequence

A bus that is started in reverse or drive may result in unintended vehicle movement, and increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy

Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 30, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall R22BW (SB).
