2023 Blue Bird ALL American Transit BUS & 2023 Blue Bird Vision Transit BUS recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision and All-American transit buses. The entrance door handrail has an under-sized diameter and is not compliant with Part 1192, Americans with Disability Act (ADA), Appendix A, Chapter 3, T303.3.2, which requires a minimum diameter of 1.25 inches.
💥 The risk
A smaller handrail may be difficult to grip, possibly resulting in a slip or fall and increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the handrail, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 7, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22CD-NSB.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
