Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- Blue bird is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2010 all american school buses manufactured from may 29, 2006 through august 7, 2010 equipped with cummins isb-02, isb-07, and isb-10 engines. An incorrect combination of flat washer and serrated nut was installed on the bolt that secures the starter cable retaining clamp to its attaching bracket at the front of the engine above the engine cooling fan. The flat washer prevents the serrated nut from locking against the attaching bracket. Over time, the serrated nut may back off allowing the starter cable to fall and contact the fan hub while in operation.
- Risk
- If the starter cable contacts the fan hub while the fan hub is in operation, the cable covering may abrade which could result in a direct short. A short could potentially result in a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Blue bird will notify owners and repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on september 24, 2010. Owners may contact blue bird at 1‑478‑822‑2242.
