- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Vision transit buses. The fuel supply line was incorrectly routed, allowing it to chafe against a bolt head, which can damage the line and create a fuel leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reroute the fuel line, and replace the fuel line if any damage is found, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 21, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22BU-NSB.
- 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.nhtsa.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 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Blue Bird vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 6 times before this, most recently in May 2020 as 20V249000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V759000 (equipment), 24V758000 (equipment), 24V543000 (structure), 24V365000 (fuel system, other).
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 April 25, 2022 as campaign 22V275000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
