Blue Bird All American School Bus: Steering

Affects Blue Bird All American School Bus · 2009 — about 12 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain school buses, the bolts that mount the steering gear to the frame may not have been properly torqued during vehicle assembly. Improperly torqued bolts may cause the steering gear to separate from the chassis, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will torque the steering gear mounting bolts to specs.
