What's wrong?
The cruise control system on 2010-2011 Blue Bird Vision and All American D3 non school buses is supposed to hold a selected road speed without the driver keeping steady pressure on the accelerator. The service brake is part of that control logic because pressing the brake pedal should cancel cruise control and return full speed control to the driver.
On affected buses, the cruise control feature does not always shut off when the service brakes are applied. That means the bus can keep trying to maintain the selected speed while the driver is braking. The brake system still responds to pedal input, but the speed control system is not ending the cruise command the way it should.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem appears when cruise control is already active and the driver presses the service brake expecting it to cancel.

Spans the Vision and All American D3 bus lines across the 2010 and 2011 model years, both tied to cruise control.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific bus.
What's the safety risk?
If cruise control does not deactivate when the service brakes are applied, the bus can hold speed when the driver expects it to slow, increasing crash risk. Schedule the recall repair soon and keep operators alert for cruise control behavior that does not match brake input. Repair will be free at any franchised Blue Bird dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Blue Bird Vision or All American D3 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Blue Bird dealer and ask whether the free failsafe-circuit repair is ready for your VIN.
- Tell the dealer the cruise control fails to deactivate when the service brakes are applied, and ask for the failsafe circuit repair.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 10V307 when you call.
- Avoid using cruise control until the dealer confirms the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Blue Bird technician installs a failsafe circuit in the cruise control system so the cruise function has a backup path to disengage. Blue Bird first told dealers to disable cruise control and place a dashboard decal saying cruise control was disabled. A permanent repair has since been established, and buses that received the interim fix are still offered the final remedy. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Owners can call Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242 for campaign handling.
