Agency product description and boundaries
Blue Bird Bus Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2027 Vision school buses. The retractors may not lock, preventing the wheelchair from being properly secured.
Still to verify: match the label on your item with the full official notice, including any exclusions, tables and photos. Some identifiers appear only on the agency website and are absent from this data feed. A missing field does not mean all versions are affected.
If your lot or date falls outside a stated range, this notice has not established that your item is affected. This is not a finding about other recalls or product safety.
Vehicle-specific check required: use NHTSA’s official VIN lookup. Fresh Recalls has not checked a VIN or repair status and does not ask you to submit a VIN.
2. Agency hazard and consumer action
NHTSA reports: An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit, increasing the risk of injury.
NHTSA consumer action: Dealers will inspect and replace the retractors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 17. 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
Affected product: Blue Bird Vision School Bus recall status
