What's wrong?
The emergency exit label on 2019-2024 Blue Bird All American, Vision, Vision School Bus, and All American School Bus models explains how to open the rear and side emergency doors. In an evacuation, those instructions help a driver, passenger, or first responder find the release motion quickly and use the exit correctly.
On affected buses, the operating-instruction lettering on the decal is too small. Blue Bird traced the problem to a supplier that read the drawing incorrectly and produced labels with letters measured at 0.88 centimeters instead of the required 1 centimeter. The smaller lettering does not meet the emergency-exit label requirement and can make the instructions harder to read when speed and clarity matter.
A driver can visually identify the noncompliant label by checking the emergency exit instructions on the rear and side door decals. The corrected label uses compliant lettering and replaces the smaller instruction text.
