Summary: Certain 2004-2007 my vision school buses manufactured between August 5, 2003, and June 13, 2006, equipped with option 40280-02 ammeter shunt. The power cable originally installed between the toe board and the shunt may be too short and may break due to engine vibration.
Consequence: Should the power cable break while the bus is in use, the bus could become stranded in an active lane which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Blue bird will notify owners and replace the short power cable with a longer one free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2006. Owners may contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.

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.
