What's wrong?
The fuel filter on the 2015 Blue Bird Vision and All American buses is part of the diesel fuel system on buses with Cummins ISB or ISL engines. Its job is to trap contaminants before fuel reaches the engine, while the filter shell and nut plate stay sealed together under normal vibration and fuel pressure.
In NHTSA campaign 14V707, the affected Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filter, part number FF63009, has a bond problem between the filter shell and the fuel filter nut plate. If that bond fails, the filter shell separates from the nut plate. Fuel delivery is disrupted, and the engine stalls without warning.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver does not get a specific light, sound, or gradual drivability symptom tied to this filter separation before the engine loses power.

What should I do if my 2015 Blue Bird Vision or All American is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific bus is included in recall 14V707. If it is, call a Blue Bird dealer or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583 and reference recall 14V707, Cummins C1545, or Blue Bird R14XM. The fuel-filter replacement is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall repair at no cost, and the remedy says dealers will replace the defective fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. Keep the campaign numbers 14V707, C1545, and R14XM available when you schedule service.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is an unexpected engine stall. On these buses, the fuel-filter shell can separate from the nut plate, which can stop the engine without warning and increase crash risk. If your VIN is included, arrange the free fuel-filter replacement before putting the bus back into regular service.
