Equipment Adaptive/mobility › Wheelchair Lift/ramp — Blue Bird · reported 10 Dec 2025 · 52 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Blue Bird Bus Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Vision school buses. The wheelchair lift may have a missing support brace, causing the wheelchair lift to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 404, "Platform Lift Installations."

The risk

A wheelchair lift that fails increases the risk of injury.

The fix

Blue Bird will install the missing support brace, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 4, 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
