## What the record says

- **Product**: BLUE BIRD ALL AMERICAN (2014) - Recall 23V778000
- **Reason**: Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2014-2024 All American school buses equipped with 39" High Back seat restraining barriers. 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." An unsecured seat restraining barrier may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Blue Bird Body Company
- **Quantity**: 6124
- **Agency-reported status**: Published safety recall
