Blue Bird Vision School Bus: Steering

Affects Blue Bird Vision School Bus · 2008 — about 29 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain school buses, a temporary bolt used to secure the steering wheel, during manufacturing process, was not removed and replaced with a permanent bolt during the final assembly stage. The temporary bolt could, over time, back-out allowing the steering wheel to loosen and come-off. A loss of steering control could result in a vehicle crash with injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will remove the temporary bolt and install the correct permanent hardware and lock coating.
