An official Health Canada notice concerns Blue bird. Certain school buses fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105 - Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems, as well as CMVSS 121 - Air Brake Systems. The instrument panel ABS indicator light does not illuminate when the ABS circuit is disconnected at the main ABS module, as prescribed by the Standard. In the event the ABS circuit disconnects from the main ABS module, the bus operator would be unaware of the failure of the ABS system and the associated reduced braking function, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel to illuminate the ABS indicator light when the ABS circuit is disconnected at the main ABS module. Published 2011-06-13.
