Description2013 | BLUE BIRD | VISION SCHOOL BUS

Issue

On certain school buses, the electronic module which activates the hydraulic brake pressure indicator lamp on the dash instrument panel (when there is little or no pressure in the hydraulic brake system) may have been omitted during vehicle assembly. Since the warning lamp will not indicate a loss of pressure in the hydraulic brake system, the driver may not be aware of the subsequent reduced braking capacity, which could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install an electronic brake module.
