Blue Bird Body Company starter interlock settings in the vehicle software are incorrect, allowing the engine to crank while the T-handle gear shifter is in Reverse or Drive.
The short version
Blue Bird Body Company reported a problem with the control module software. Here is what owners need to know.
The starter interlock settings in the vehicle software are incorrect, allowing the engine to crank while the T-handle gear shifter is in Reverse or Drive. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect."
A bus that is started in reverse or drive may result in unintended vehicle movement, and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Take it to a dealer — they will update the software, free of charge.
