Blue Bird insufficient number of rivets were installed in the roof sheets, allowing the roof sheets to separate in the event of a severe impact.
The short version
Blue Bird Body Company reported a problem with the body roof and pillars. Here is what owners need to know.
An insufficient number of rivets were installed in the roof sheets, allowing the roof sheets to separate in the event of a severe impact. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
In the event of a crash, if the roof sheets separate, there is an increased risk of injury.
Blue Bird will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the roof joints and add the sufficient number of rivets, as necessary, free of charge.
