The short version

Blue Bird Body Company reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The bolts securing the restraining barriers to the floor may separate when fully loaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

WHY IT MATTERS

An unsecured seat restraining barrier may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will install a longer bolt with rectangular washer and nut, free of charge.
