Description

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision school buses. The incorrect pins were installed on the air stop arm, which may cause it to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices." An inoperative stop arm increases the risk of injury during the boarding and deboarding process of the bus.
