What this recall means for you
A camera for the Mobileye collision mitigation system may partially or fully block the driver's view of the passenger-side cross-view mirror. This means the bus may not fully meet federal rear visibility requirements, and the obstructed view increases the risk of injury to pedestrians.
To fix the problem, dealers will move the camera to a new location and update its software at no cost to the owner. If you own a 2022 Blue Bird Vision school bus, contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 and reference recall R21BL-SB. You should also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
