Defect
Certain 2007 vision school buses equipped with bendix air brakes manufactured between april 7 and may 26, 2006. The check valve inside the valve cavity may not properly seat, causing internal air leakage. This can cause a delay in the application of the spring brake to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
Safety risk
The delayed parking brake application can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
Blue bird will notify owners and replace the brake valve free of charge. The recall began on august 31, 2006. Owners can contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.
