Blue Bird Body Company "Blue Bird" is recalling certain model year 2015 All American and Vision school buses manufactured from May 22, 2014, to August 2, 2014. The Cummins ISB or ISL engines in these vehicles may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009, whose filter shell may separate from the fuel filter nut plate causing the engine to stall without warning.
If the engine stalls unexpectedly there is an increased risk of a crash.
Cummins will notify owners and dealers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one, free of charge. The recall began on during September 2014. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Cummins' number for this recall is C1545. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
