Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 28,479 of its 2019-2024 Vision and All American school buses because the operating instructions on the emergency exit labels are printed in a font that is too small to read easily. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for bus emergency exits. Blue Bird dealers will replace these labels with new, legible ones free of charge.

Risk

If the emergency exit instructions are difficult to read, passengers or drivers may be delayed or unable to use the exit during an emergency, which significantly increases the risk of injury.

  4. Reach out to an authorized Blue Bird dealer to schedule the free label replacement repair.
