What was wrong
Defect
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2026 Vision and All American school buses equipped with a lap belt-ready or 3-pt seats.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems," 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages," and 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
Risk
A seat with loose fasteners may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
