Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a
crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addi-
tion to notifying Blue Bird.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investiga-
tion and, if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer,
or Blue Bird Company.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-
free at: 1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1–800–424–9153)
or go to:
http://www.safercar.gov
or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA,
400 Seventh Street, SW.
Washington, DC 20590

Driver Certification
US Federal regulations require that school bus Drivers possess a
Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with proper endorsements. The
purpose of this manual is to acquaint the Driver with the particular
Blue Bird bus model it covers. Its information must be considered
supplemental to, not a replacement for, the specific requirements for
Driver certification, testing, and operational procedures.
For example, the Pre-trip inspection routine described in this
manual may not include all items or details of the Pre-trip inspection
required by legally-mandated inspections.
Contact the Pupil Transportation Director or similar office for
your particular state/district for more information.
