STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling one 2022 All American transit bus equipped with 39" High Back seat restraining barriers. The bolts securing the restraining barriers to the floor may separate when fully loaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An unsecured seat restraining barrier may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer will install a longer bolt with rectangular washer and nut, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 16, 2024. The owner may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R23CU-NSB.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Blue Bird vehicles have been recalled over the structure 34 times before this, most recently in October 2019 as 19V707000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V759000 (equipment), 24V758000 (equipment), 24V543000 (structure), 24V079000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Blue Bird Body Company with NHTSA on November 20, 2023 as campaign 23V777000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
