2020 Blue Bird Bbcv
Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

SEATS
Attention HSM Customer: HSM Transportation & Specialty Manufacturing Company (HSM) has reviewed reports of school bus seat foam separation occurring at the adhesive seam along the seat back. HSM will continue addressing these occurrences through the normal warranty process. HSM has also developed an alternative solution to complete seat back foam replacement. A Voluntary Technical Service Bulletin and related parts are being made available for order now at no cost. The repair kit is available as #KIT-118 and a single kit includes enough materials to repair (4) seats. HSM will cover shipping and handling costs and ship directly to a customer's indicated address. We ask that any claimed chargebacks from Dealerships and Distributors be submitted directly to HSM Quality. Installation labor to perform these repairs is defined at 15.5 minutes per seat, following documented instruction INS-196, at a labor rate of $45 an hour. HSM has determined all school bus seats utilizing HSM foam inside the seat back and manufactured from January 2017 to August 2019 may require attention. If there is a performance question, please contact HSM or your original equipment manufacturer. Sincerely, Christopher L. Murphy Director of Quality Assurance E: [email protected] P: 479-646-6161 ext 348

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
