Components FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
Potential Number of Units Affected 66
Summary
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2013-2021 Vision school buses equipped with Ford 6.8L LPG engines. The LPG supply line may be damaged from contact with the RH park brake cable, which can result in a fuel leak.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and repair the fuel lines and the park brake cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 18, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird’s customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird’s number for this recall is R22CA-SB.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Models Affected: Certain 2013-2021 Model Year Blue Bird Vision Buses equipped with 6.8L Propane engine and RH hand lever parking brake
Issue: RH mounted park brake lever cable may not be secured and/or routed properly. In certain cases, the park brake cable may lay on the propane fuel lines causing damage. Additionally, an improperly secured RH park brake cable may damage/dislodge the automatic transmission vent which could allow water/dust/debris to enter transmission assembly and cause subsequent damage.
Corrective Action: Inspect unit for proper RH park brake cable routing and securement. If routed and secured per D0007365, no additional action is required. If routing and securement is not per D0007365, re-route and/or re-secure per D0007365.

March 31, 2022: Hoover Truck of New Jersey reported Blue Bird Body Number F507077 was out of service on March 31, 2022 due to external propane fuel line leaks at the rear of the engine.
May 31, 2022: Blue Bird Field Service followed up with an on-site visit on May 31, 2022, and inspected a total of ten units, including the unit with the reported leak. Three of the additional nine units showed signs of damage to the LPG supply line.
June 22, 2022, Blue Bird Field Service performed additional dealer checks in order to determine the conditions in which the defect resulted. I.G. Burton inspected two units and found the park brake cable was contacting the fuel line but there was no sign of damage.
September 30, 2022: The CIRG team presented this issue to Blue Bird’s Product Safety Committee and it was approved to conduct a voluntary safety recall to correct this potential issue.

1 LPG Supply Line & RH Park Brake Cable Interference on Ford 6.8L RECALL R22CA Models Affected: Certain 2013-2021 Model Year Blue Bird Vision Buses equipped with 6.8L Propane engine and RH hand lever parking brake Issue: RH mounted park brake lever cable may not be secured and/or routed properly. In certain cases, the park brake cable may lay on the propane fuel lines causing damage. Additionally, an improperly secured RH park brake cable may damage/dislodge the automatic transmission vent which could allow water/dust/debris to enter transmission assembly and cause subsequent damage. Corrective Action: Inspect unit for proper RH park brake cable routing and securement. If routed and secured per D0007365, no additional action is required. If routing and securement is not per D0007365, re-route and/or re-secure per D0007365. WARNING: Always follow all Federal, State, Local and Shop safety standards and use proper safety equipment, and thoroughly read and understand all instructions before performing these procedures. Park bus on level surface, apply parking brake, turn off ignition key, and chock wheels.

Ensure cable tie mounts are in place & torqued properly to the chassis routing bracket at 76 in-lbs. Step 2: Replace and/or re-torque HD cable tie mounts, as necessary. Step 3: Ensure transmission vent is in place. Replace if necessary.
