Blue Bird Body Company "Blue Bird" is recalling certain 2026 Vision and All American school buses equipped with a lap belt-ready or 3-pt seats. The seat mounting fasteners may have been improperly tightened. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems," 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages," and 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
A seat with loose fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
