The defect
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2024-2025 All American school buses. Due to incorrect wiring, the high and low beams are reversed, causing the high beam indicator to illuminate incorrectly.

The risk
The operator may inadvertently activate the high beams, affecting the vision of other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters were mailed February 14, 2025. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242. Blue Bird's number for this recall is R25DH (SB).

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 25V003000.
