Seats

What is wrong: Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2020 Blue Bird All American and 2019-2020 Blue Bird Vision school buses, equipped with certain HSM NextGen 45" 3PT school bus seats, part number GenQ3-45 LH. There may be an insufficient number of bolts attaching the seat to the bus floor, allowing the seat to detach from the bus floor in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: In the event of a crash, if the bus seat detaches from the floor, it can increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will install a secondary floor mounting brace, free of charge. The recall began December 12, 2018. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1‑478‑822‑2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R18ZT-SB.
