Defect

Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2023 Vision and All-American transit buses. The entrance door handrail has an under-sized diameter and is not compliant with Part 1192, Americans with Disability Act (ADA), Appendix A, Chapter 3, T303.3.2, which requires a minimum diameter of 1.25 inches.

Safety risk

A smaller handrail may be difficult to grip, possibly resulting in a slip or fall and increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the handrail, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 7, 2022. Owners may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R22CD-NSB.
