The problem
Blue bird is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 all american school buses manufactured from september 22, 2006, through august 7, 2010, and equipped with optional park brake valve interlock feature. The optional park brake interlock valve may have been plumbed incorrectly which could result in inadvertent park brake application without prior warning.
The risk
Inadvertent application of the park brake valve could cause a vehicle crash which could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Blue bird will notify owners and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. All of the buses have been inspected and, if needed, repaired. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
