Blue Bird Body Company brake and throttle interlock is supposed to apply the service brakes and prevent accelerator pedal input when activated, however the throttle input is not being blocked.
The short version
Blue Bird Body Company reported a problem with the vehicle speed control accelerator pedal. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake and throttle interlock is supposed to apply the service brakes and prevent accelerator pedal input when activated, however the throttle input is not being blocked.
If throttle input is allowed, the bus may be able to overpower the applied brake, causing the bus to move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or an injury.
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will update the Smart Relay Module software, free of charge.
