Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2018-2020 Vision and All American school buses equipped with Specialty Manufacturing Prolo roof emergency exit hatches. The roof hatch external handle may break during normal use due to a manufacturing defect, which would prevent the hatch from being easily opened from outside the vehicle in an emergency situation.
If you own an affected vehicle, Blue Bird will notify you and Specialty dealers will replace the outer handle at no cost. To arrange the replacement or for more information, contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 and reference recall number R19AF - SB.
