2020 BLUE BIRD VISION SCHOOL BUS; 2020 BLUE BIRD ALL AMERICAN SCHOOL BUS
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2020 Vision and All American buses that are equipped with Specialty Prolo 24" x 24" roof hatches. Due to a manufacturing issue, the external handle on the roof hatch may break during normal use. If the handle breaks during an emergency, the hatch cannot be easily opened from outside the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury and violates federal safety standards for bus emergency exits.
Blue Bird will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will replace the outer hatch handle at no charge. The recall began on August 21, 2019. Owners of affected buses should contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 and reference recall number R19AF - NSB to arrange for the replacement.
