Plain-English summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Vision school buses manufactured between December 5, 2011, and July 2, 2014. This recall affects vehicles equipped with the optional Roush CleanTech propane fuel system.

The defect involves the return fuel line, which may crack near the support bracket. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing fuel return line with a new line and support clamps free of charge. The recall began on September 29, 2014. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
