NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Blue Bird Bus Company (Blue Bird) is recalling one 2026 Vision transit bus. The windows may have illegible DOT markings. As such these windows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 205, "Glazing Materials."
The risk
A missing DOT code mark may result in the window being replaced with an incorrect type of glass, increasing the risk of a injury.
The remedy
The dealer will inspect and repair the glass etching, free of charge. An owner notification letter was mailed March 19, 2026. Owner may contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
A 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.
