Years on file

Blue Bird Body Company has filed 76 recall campaigns with NHTSA between February 11, 2020 and August 31, 2026, covering up to 130,048 vehicles in total. The system it has been back to most is electrical system, named in 12 of them (16%). The busiest year was 2020, with 15 campaigns.

A vehicle covered by two campaigns is counted in both, so the total above is a sum of campaign populations and not a count of distinct vehicles. Campaigns where the manufacturer had not yet reported a population contribute nothing to it.

Check your own vehicle

A recall covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model. Your own VIN is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it shows every open recall on it rather than one campaign at a time.

Recall data from NHTSA's campaign API , most recent campaign filed September 14, 2026. Campaigns are listed here where NHTSA's record carries the defect, the consequence and the remedy; a handful of older or withdrawn campaigns carry only a number and are left on the vehicle pages that aggregate them.
