What's recalled
Component: Equipment (other, labels)
Blue Bird Body Company (Blue Bird) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Vision and All American school buses.

The risk
An emergency exit label that is difficult to read can prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
