The short version

Blue Bird Body Company reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The brake light switch mounting bracket may have caused the brake light switch to be incorrectly adjusted at installation and/or the brake light switch mounting bracket may deform when the driver allows the brake pedal to return forcibly. An incorrectly adjusted brake light switch or deformed brake light switch mounting bracket may cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously.

WHY IT MATTERS

Improperly functioning brake lights could confuse following motorists and fail to warn them that the bus may be stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will install a new, redesigned brake light switch mounting bracket along with a new brake light switch, free of charge.
