Why it was recalled
Blue Bird Body Company is recalling certain 2025-2027 Vision school buses equipped with Ricon K-Series wheelchair platform lifts. The electrical contactor may fail, preventing the controls from stopping the lift, which could cause the lift to continue moving while occupied and increase the risk of injury.
