CERTAIN 2008 BLUE BIRD VISION SCHOOL BUSES BUILT FROM OCTOBER 23 THROUGH NOVEMBER 21, 2006. A TEMPORARY BOLT WAS USED TO SECURE THE STEERING WHEEL DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE TEMPORARY BOLT WAS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A PERMANENT BOLT WITH A LOCK COATING DURING THE FINAL ASSEMBLY STAGE. THE TEMPORARY BOLT WAS NOT REMOVED AND REPLACED ON THE SUBJECT UNITS, BUT INSTEAD THE BOLT WAS REUSED.
REUSE OF THE ATTACHING SCREW COULD ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOOSEN DURING OPERATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS.
