Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2026 Vision and All American school buses equipped with a lap belt-ready or 3-pt seats. The seat mounting fasteners may have been improperly tightened. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems," 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages," and 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
Blue Bird will replace the seat fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 3, 2025. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R25DM.
A seat with loose fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
