What was wrong

Defect

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2022 Vision school buses equipped with cross-view mirrors and a Mobileye collision mitigation system. Due to the current placement of the Mobileye camera, the camera could partially or fully obstruct the driver's view of the passenger side cross-view mirror. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk

An obstructed view of the passenger side cross-view mirror increases the risk of injury for pedestrians.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will change the location of the camera and update the software, free of charge. Owners were notified of the defect on November 2, 2021. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 31, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R21BL-SB.
