Blue Bird Recalls One 2026 Vision Transit Bus for Window Markings
Blue Bird is recalling one 2026 Vision transit bus because side or rear windows may have illegible DOT markings, failing federal safety standards.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a compliance issue with window markings that could lead to incorrect glass replacement and potential injury, but no injuries have been reported and the defect is a labeling/identification issue rather than an immediate mechanical failure.
Plain-English summary
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling one 2026 Vision transit bus. The recall addresses side and rear windows that may have illegible Department of Transportation (DOT) markings. As a result, these windows fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 205, "Glazing Materials."
The missing or illegible DOT code mark may result in the window being replaced with an incorrect type of glass in the future, which increases the risk of injury. No specific injuries or accidents have been reported in the source text.
Owners will be notified by mail, with letters mailed on March 19, 2026. Dealers will inspect and repair the glass etching free of charge. Owners may also contact Blue Bird's customer service at 1-478-822-2242 for assistance.
