2023 Blue Bird All American Transit Bus, Blue Bird Vision Transit Bus: Equipment Adaptive/mobility recall
NHTSA campaign 22V763000 · 20 units potentially affected · filed Oct 12, 2022
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.
Why it matters
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.
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.
