Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 6,124 of its 2014-2024 All American school buses equipped with 39-inch High Back seat restraining barriers. The bolts that secure these safety barriers to the floor may separate or fail when the seats are fully loaded, which violates federal safety standards for crash protection. Dealers will install a longer bolt along with a specialized rectangular washer and nut to ensure the barriers remain secure at no cost to owners.
If the bolts fail, the seat restraining barrier can become unsecured during a crash. This means the barrier will not properly restrain students in their seats, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury during a collision.
Installation of specialized hardware to secure restraining barriers.
