- Summary
- Certain my 2006 all american school and transit buses and 2006 conventional vision school buses manufactured between July 7 and November 8, 2005, equipped with ricon s and k series platform style wheelchair lifts. The vertical support arms for the lifts were improperly welded allowing the lift to stow improperly.
- Consequence
- In the event this condition occurs during passenger operations it may not be possible to close the lift door causing the vehicle interlocks to remain engaged preventing movement of the vehicle or the ability to load or unload passengers with disabilities from the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Blue bird will notify its customers and repair the buses free of charge. The recall began on may 5, 2006. Owners may contact blue bird at 478-822-2242.

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.
