Issue
Issue:
On one school bus built with a rear engine, the wiring for the high and low beam headlamps may be reversed. As a result, the high beams may not be bright enough and the low beams may be too bright. Additionally, the high beam indicator light may not turn on when the high beams are turned on. Canadian regulations specify a minimum and maximum brightness for high and low beams, and that an indicator light turns on when the high beams are activated.
Safety Risk:
High or low beam headlamps that don't work correctly could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action:
Blue Bird will notify the owner by mail and provide them with instructions and a repair kit to replace the jumper harness wiring. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed at a Blue Bird dealership.
