What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2007-2014 All American and Vision school buses manufactured between March 10, 2006, and June 18, 2013, that are equipped with optional transit sliding windows. The recalled vehicles may have window panels that were not properly adhered at the joints, which could cause the panels to separate and fall onto occupants during a vehicle crash, creating an injury hazard.

To address this issue, Blue Bird dealers will install additional rivets at the window panel joints at no charge to owners. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Blue Bird at 1-478-825-2021 to arrange the repair. The recall began on August 28, 2013, and Blue Bird's recall number is R13WM.
