Defect

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Vision transit buses, designed to run on propane. The fuel control valve solenoid may short circuit, shutting off the flow of propane to the engine, causing the engine to shut off.

Safety risk

An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers for Roush CleanTech, the supplier of the propane fuel kit, will replace the defective fuel control valve solenoids, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owners may contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for recall is R17ZA (NSB).
