Issue

Issue:
On certain electric school buses, the fuel tank for the heater may not have been designed properly. As a result, diesel fuel could leak from the tank.

Safety Risk:
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Blue Bird recommends not to fill the fuel tank beyond 90% until the recall repairs are completed. Blue Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to remove the return tube on the fuel tank.
