For the 1998 Bluebird TC2000. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Bluebird 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 Bluebird dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1998 Bluebird TC2000 recalls, newest first

October 8, 2008NHTSA 08V5260008 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary
Matthews is recalling 8 my 1998 bluebird, my 2004 Ford E450, my 2005-2006 thomas built bus, my 2006 international bus, my 2007 Chevrolet 5500, freightliner and Dodge sprinter trucks, transit buses, and specialty vehicles equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Consequence
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Remedy
Matthews is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or mattews specialty at 336-297-9600.
