What this recall means for you
Certain 2021-2024 Blue Bird Vision school buses have firmware in the multiplex module that can cause the warning lights to turn off and the stop arm to retract without warning.
If this happens during use, the buses are less visible to other drivers and children may be less protected while boarding or leaving the bus, which increases the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy is free: an authorized Blue Bird dealer will update the multiplex firmware at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2024. For questions, contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your bus is affected.
