What happened

Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2018-2021 All-American and 2019-2021 Vision school buses due to a seat belt anchorage defect. The three-point seat belt assembly may have been installed without reinforcing washers under the floor at the anchorage point, which could prevent the seat belt from remaining anchored during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

To address this issue, Blue Bird will notify vehicle owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the seat belt anchorage point hardware and install any missing hardware free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242 for more information about the recall, which is identified as R20AX.
