Transport Canada Recall - 2021242 -
Brand(s)
Summary
Affected products
2022 | BLUE BIRD | TX4 SCHOOL BUS, 2022 | BLUE BIRD | VISION SCHOOL BUS
Issue
On a small number of school buses, a check valve within the air brake system may not have been assembled correctly. As a result, there could be an air pressure leak if there is a secondary brake circuit failure. This could cause the parking brakes to apply suddenly. Note: This recall only affects school buses built with a Bendix air brake system.
Safety risk
A parking brake that self-applies while driving could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the SC-3 check valve.
