Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Vision school buses equipped with a 7.3L gasoline engine.
The transmission cable may not have sufficient clearance from the gasoline fuel supply line at the left rear corner of the engine, which can result in a fuel leak.
