2000 Blue Bird Conventional recalls
Recall 02V-160: Seat Belts
Problem: On certain school and transit buses equipped with passenger seat belts with retractors, the cover halves for the retractable portion of the belt can separate completely and release the seat belt connector. If this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury. The seat belt supplier, AM-safe, will provide a snap on "over-cover" to owners to prevent the seat belt cover from separating.
Risk: If this occurs, one of the load bearing pins in the connector could separate from the connector and render the seat belt unusable. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant would not be properly restrained resulting in an injury.
Fix: Owners will be provided a snap-on "over-cover" to prevent the seat belt cover from separating. Owner notification is expected to begin on or about september 27, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
Recall 01V-337: Seat Belts
Problem: Vehicle description: school buses equipped with option 2836-02 driver's seat belts. The seat belts are too long preventing the belt from retracting properly and fitting the occupant as designed.
Risk: In the event of a crash, the driver may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: The belts will be replaced with belts of proper shoulder harness length. Owner notification began november 15, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
