Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Blue bird. On certain buses equipped with hydraulic brakes, the parking brake pedal may deform upon application, which may prevent the parking brakes from fully applying. This may permit the bus to roll unexpectedly when parked, which could cause a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a relocating bracket on the parking brake assembly. If the parking brake pedal is already deformed, a new pedal assembly will be installed. Published 2012-01-04.
