ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Vision school buses. Firmware in the multiplex module may cause the warning lights to deactivate and the stop arm to retract without warning.
- What it can cause
- An unintended deactivation of the warning lights and retraction of the stop arm during use increases the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the multiplex firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2024. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R24CX (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.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 5,197 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2024, 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 electrical system 45 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V424000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 44 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V759000 (equipment), 24V758000 (equipment), 24V600000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V599000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 February 2, 2024 as campaign 24V068000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
