The defect

The risk
An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Blue Bird will work with Q'Straint to inspect and replace the retractors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 29. 2026. Owners may contact Blue Bird customer service at 1-478-822-2242.
