- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2018-2022 All American buses. The sealing washer may not seat correctly in the pilot bore holes, allowing the high pressure fuel rail assembly to leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- The remedy for this recall is still under development. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R21BH-SB.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,053 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Blue Bird vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 4 times before this, most recently in November 2014 as 14V707000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 30 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V759000 (equipment), 24V758000 (equipment), 24V543000 (structure), 24V079000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Blue Bird Body Company with NHTSA on May 4, 2021 as campaign 21V312000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
