2014 BLUE BIRD ALL AMERICAN; 2014 BLUE BIRD VISION
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2014 Vision and All American school buses manufactured between January 21, 2013, and February 28, 2013. These buses have a potential safety defect where the joint between the rear wheelhousing and body gusset panel may have partially separated during manufacturing. This separation could increase the risk of injury to bus occupants in the event of a crash and causes the vehicles to not meet federal safety standards for school bus body joint strength.
Blue Bird will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the joint connections and install a two-part adhesive and mechanical fasteners as necessary at no cost. The recall began on April 24, 2014. Affected consumers should contact Blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242 for more information about this recall, which is identified as R14XC.
