SEATS
- The defect
- Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Vision 2020-2023 All American school buses. The convertible seats may have been incorrectly installed, which can result in an unsecured seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- An unsecured seat may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the seat, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 04, 2024. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R24CM-SB.
- 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 6,691 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Blue Bird vehicles have been recalled over the seats 19 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V125000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 53 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V759000 (equipment), 24V758000 (equipment), 24V600000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V599000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 February 7, 2024 as campaign 24V078000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
