Summary:
      Blue Bird is recalling model year 2013 All American and Vision non-school buses manufactured from April 30, 2012, through June 23, 2012.

The latch plate "tongue" on one style buckle may mate up to another style buckle receiver but the latch plate may not be properly engaged. Therefore, they fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
Consequence:
      Should this condition occur, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained and could be injured in an accident or sudden stop.
Remedy:
