Summary

2004 MY BLUE BIRD VISION CONVENTIONAL TYPE SCHOOL BUSES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 12, 2003, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 24, 2003. THE BUS BAR THAT CONNECTS THE AMMETER SHUNT TO THE ENGINE INTAKE GRID HEATER MEGAFUSE WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED. THE IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THIS BUS BAR CREATES EXCESSIVE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE AND POTENTIAL OVERHEATING IN THE GRID HEATER POWER CIRCUIT.

Consequence

THIS ADDITIONAL RESISTANCE COULD RESULT IN OVERHEATING AT THE MEGAFUSE HOLDER WITH POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.

Remedy

BLUE BIRD WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS TO REPAIR THE BUSES FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON OCTOBER 23, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT BLUE BIRD AT 478-822-2242.
