What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (parking brake failure) that increases the risk of a vehicle crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain model year 2015 Vision non-school buses manufactured on July 8, 2015, and All American non-school buses manufactured on September 12, 2014. These vehicles are equipped with hydraulic brakes and may have an incorrectly manufactured parking brake pedal assembly.
The defect could cause the parking brake pedal assembly to separate and bend, preventing the parking brake from engaging properly. If the parking brake does not engage, the vehicle may unexpectedly move, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date code on the parking brake pedal assembly and replace it if it is within the affected date range, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2015. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
