Summary: Certain 2007 vision school buses equipped with bendix air brakes manufactured between April 7 and may 26, 2006. The check valve inside the valve cavity may not properly seat, causing internal air leakage. This can cause a delay in the application of the spring brake to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
Consequence: The delayed parking brake application can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
Remedy: Blue bird will notify owners and replace the brake valve free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2006. Owners can contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.
Notes: Blue bird recall no. R06KU.CUSTOMERS may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Has your Blue Bird been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Blue Bird dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
