The short answer

NHTSA received First Light Safety Products’s report on Nov 6, 2020. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If the sign performance is inhibited, or completely inoperable, it can reduce the visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

First Light Safety Products (First Light) is recalling all Illuminated School Bus Stop Signs sold for IC CE, Thomas Built Bus Saf-T Liner C2 and Blue Bird Vision buses sold between April 1, 2020 and October 23, 2020.

The back plate perimeter weather seal may allow contaminants to enter, affecting the sign performance.

In some cases, it can cause an electrical short, which can cause the sign to be inoperable.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
