Summary

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling one 2023 Vision transit bus 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, this vehicle fails 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 is R22BW(NSB).
