The short version

BLUE BIRD BODY COMPANY reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The electronic module that activates the hydraulic brake pressure indicator light on the dash instrument panel when there is little, or no, pressure in the hydraulic brake system may have been omitted during manufacturing. Therefore, these buses fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event that a loss of pressure occurs in the hydraulic brake system and the brake pressure monitor does not activate, the operator of the bus may not be aware of the subsequent reduced braking capacity which could result in a vehicle crash with potential for personal injury and/or property damage.

WHAT TO DO

Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge.
