Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling approximately 310 of its 2026-2027 Vision and All American school buses. These vehicles are equipped with QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max wheelchair restraints featuring retractors that may fail to lock.

Risk

If the retractor does not lock as intended, a wheelchair can move freely while the bus is in motion. This unexpected movement during transit significantly increases the risk of injury to the wheelchair occupant and other passengers.
