Summary
Affected products
2027 | BLUE BIRD | VISION SCHOOL BUS
Issue

Safety risk
A wheelchair that moves in a crash could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective actions
To reduce the safety risk, Blue Bird recommends you confirm the wheelchair is secured properly by attempting to move it before driving until the recall repairs have been completed. Blue Bird will notify the owner by mail and provide them with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, replace the wheelchair retractor(s). Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed at a Blue Bird dealership.
