ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM
- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling one 2022 All American transit bus equipped with a Cummins PD7000 Electric Drivetrain containing an electric air compressor. The air compressor housing is improperly grounded, causing electrical voltage greater than 50V AC during operation.
- What it can cause
- An improperly grounded air compressor can cause electric shock, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install an electrical ground strap between the compressor motor housing and vehicle chassis, free of charge. The interim owner notification letter was mailed on September 1, 2022. Remedy parts are expected to become available mid-February 2023. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22BY-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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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 one model year, 2022, 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 electrical system 42 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V253000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 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 July 14, 2022 as campaign 22V506000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
