What is wrong
First Light Safety Products (First Light) is recalling all Illuminated School Bus Stop Signs sold for IC CE, Thomas Built Bus Saf-T Liner C2 and Blue Bird Vision buses sold between April 1, 2020 and October 23, 2020. The back plate perimeter weather seal may allow contaminants to enter, affecting the sign performance. In some cases, it can cause an electrical short, which can cause the sign to be inoperable.
What can happen
If the sign performance is inhibited, or completely inoperable, it can reduce the visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
First Light will notify owners, and dealers will replace the back plate, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2020 Owners may contact First Light customer service at 1-866-216-2605.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
