- The defect
- Blue Bird Bus Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2022-2027 Vision transit buses. The exhaust hanger cotter pin may contact the hydraulic brake line, damaging the line and causing a brake fluid leak.
- What it can cause
- A brake fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, a brake fluid leak can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the exhaust hanger cotter pin. Dealers will also inspect and replace the brake lines as necessary. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
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 29 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% 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 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Blue Bird vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 9 times before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V778000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V520000 (electrical system), 26V033000 (visibility), 25V852000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V635000 (parking brake).
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 20, 2026 as campaign 26V467000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
