Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling 11 of its 2026 Vision and All American transit buses that are equipped with QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max wheelchair restraints. The retractors on these wheelchair restraints may fail to lock, which prevents the wheelchair from being securely fastened to the vehicle floor. Blue Bird is working with the equipment manufacturer, Q'Straint, to inspect and replace any faulty retractors free of charge.

Risk

If the wheelchair restraints do not lock properly, the wheelchair can move unexpectedly during transit. This movement increases the risk of injury to the wheelchair occupant and other passengers, especially during sudden stops or accidents.
