Has your Blue Bird been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Blue Bird dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Unknown or other

Summary
On certain tour type coaches equipped with parcel racks, irregularities in the installation of the fasteners used to retain the parcel racks to the coach structure could result in the fasteners loosening allowing the parcel racks to fall without warning.
Consequence
In the event the fasteners become dislodged and the racks should fall while the passenger seat is occupied, personal injury to the seat occupant could occur.
Remedy
Distributors and owners will be notified to immediately install interim repair bolts through the coach roof bow structure on the aisle side of the first two parcel rack sections on both the right and left side parcel racks on all affected coaches. Final repairs can then be completed at a later date. Owner notification began July 24, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.

Power train › Automatic transmission

Summary
On certain motor homes and tour coaches, a 'check trans' warning light which is required by allison transmission installation instructions was omitted. In the event the transmission shift selector malfunctions (looses power or sends erroneous signals to the transmission electronic control unit), the computer will stop accepting input from the electronic shift selector unit. If this condition occurs, the transmission will be held in the last valid range selected. Although the single digit range selected display on the shift selector will be blank or a dash, the driver may not be aware that a malfunction has occurred.
Consequence
The driver may shift the transmission selector to change direction and the transmission would not recognize it and remain in the original direction resulting in the potential for a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a "check trans" warning light on these vehicles. Owner notification began July 31, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
