The problem
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2022-2022 Vision and All American transit buses.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake System."
Risk
Unintended spring brake application may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
