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.

1998 Blue Bird Wanderlodge recalls, newest first

November 5, 2002NHTSA 02V277003173 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
Certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200LR and 1200RIM with serial numbers between 700000 and 1008700 and manufactured between December 1996 and February 1999. These refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Consequence
If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. Owner notification began November 11, 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 norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005.

June 13, 2002NHTSA 02V154000436 vehicles potentially affected

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.
