Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 20 units of its 2023 Vision and All-American transit buses because the entrance door handrail diameter is too small. The handrails measure less than the required 1.25 inches in diameter, which violates Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Dealers will replace these non-compliant handrails with ones of the correct size free of charge. Owners were notified by mail starting around December 7, 2022.
The undersized handrails are more difficult to grip securely than those of the standard required size. This increased difficulty in gripping can lead to slips or falls while entering or exiting the bus, increasing the risk of injury for passengers.
Dealers will replace the undersized handrail with a compliant one free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
