Blue Bird Body Company "Blue Bird" is recalling certain 2018-2021 Vision and All American school buses. The drivetrain may experience an electromagnetic noise on the Control Area Network "CAN" bus, which may cause a loss of electrical power to the power steering pump.
A loss of assisted power steering increases the risk of a crash.
Cummins will replace the High Voltage Low Power Inverter Harness, and install an overlay harness, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on May 22, 2021.
