NHTSA recall campaign
22V600000
What was wrong
Defect
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 All American school buses. The engine control module (ECM) may experience an internal short-circuit, which can result in an unexpected engine shut down without the ability to restart the vehicle.
Risk
An unexpected engine shut down can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled school bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
Manufacturer remedy
Dealers will replace the ECM and update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 26, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22BZ-SB.
