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.

An unsecured seat restraining barrier may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
