Transport Canada recall 2019556 · manufacturer campaign R19AI-C (Non-SB)

6 November 2019

Transport Canada lists: Vision 2017–2020

What is wrong

On certain buses equipped with a Ford engine and air brakes, the brake switch mounting bracket could deform. If this happens, the brake lights may stay on. Note: This would also cause the brake warning light in the instrument cluster to turn on.

Why it matters

Brake lights that stay on could cause other road users not to recognize when the bus is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an active brake warning light may lead a driver to park the bus immediately. This could result in the transfer of passengers to another bus in an uncontrolled environment.

What the dealer will do

Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide them with a redesigned brake switch mounting bracket and a replacement brake switch. They will provide instructions for how to remove and replace the bracket and brake switch. Until the recall has been completed, drivers should confirm that the brake lights do not stay on during their pre-trip inspection.

Transport Canada lists: TX 4 2016–2020 · Vision 2016–2020

What is wrong

A problem with the left-rear brake caliper on certain school buses may cause the brake pads to drag and overheat. This could result in high temperatures, smoke, odour, or a possible fire.

Why it matters

A fire could increase the risk of injury. This could also result in an emergency evacuation in an uncontrolled environment, which could also increase the risk of an injury.

Transport Canada recall 2018698 · manufacturer campaign R19ZV-C

12 December 2018

Transport Canada lists: Vision 2013–2020

What is wrong

On certain buses, the hydraulic brake lines and/or transmission shifter cable may have been incorrectly routed and could come into contact with surrounding components. If the brake lines were too close to the exhaust manifold, they could fail prematurely, resulting in hydraulic brake fluid leaking onto the manifold, and longer braking distances, increasing the risk of a crash. If the transmission shifter cable were to rub against the engine fuel supply line, it could result in a fuel leak. Both leaking brake fluid onto a hot surface and a fuel leak could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install a bracket to insulate the brake lines from heat and reroute the transmission shifter cable away from the fuel lines.
