Plain-English summary
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2018-2023 Blue Bird Vision transit and school buses. The recall affects vehicles equipped with Roush fuel return lines included in GEN 4 and GEN 5 LPG Conversion Systems that were sold or registered in specific states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The zinc plating on the fuel return line may break away when contacted by road debris. This causes two dissimilar metals on the fuel line to contact each other and corrode. A corroded fuel line can leak fuel, which increases the risk of a fire.
Dealers will replace the fuel return lines free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 24, 2023. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
