- Summary
- Certain 2008 blue bird vision school buses built from October 23 through November 21, 2006. A temporary bolt was used to secure the steering wheel during the manufacturing process. The temporary bolt was to be removed and replaced with a permanent bolt with a lock coating during the final assembly stage. The temporary bolt was not removed and replaced on the subject units, but instead the bolt was reused.
- Consequence
- Reuse of the attaching screw could allow the steering wheel to loosen during operation which could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death to occupants.
- Remedy
- Blue bird will notify owners and repair the buses by replacing the screw with a new attaching screw free of charge. The recall began on December 11, 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.
