July 15, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V409000
Missing Seat Belt Anchorage Washers/ FMVSS 210
In the event of a crash, seat belt anchorages that do not remain secured increase the risk of injury to those seat occupants.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V409
Manufacturer Blue Bird Body Company
Components SEAT BELTS
Potential Number of Units Affected 3,532
Summary
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2018-2021 All-American and 2019-2021 Vision school buses. The three-point seatbelt assembly may have been installed without reinforcing washers under the floor at the anchorage point, possibly preventing the assembly from remaining anchored in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”
Remedy
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt anchorage point hardware and install any missing hardware as needed, free of charge. This recall began August 11, 2020. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird’s number for this recall is R20AX.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.
