Summary: Certain model year 2006 through 2010 blue bird micro bird single rear wheel model school buses manufactured from August 31, 2005 through September 27, 2009, fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." if the vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, then the tire and loading placard should indicate "none" under the size and recommended tire inflation pressure. The placard listed inflation pressure for a spare tire that was the same as the front tire inflation pressure.
Consequence: Inflation pressure required for the rear tires could be higher than the front tire which could cause premature tire wear resulting in a potential tire failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Blue bird will provide replacement tire and loading placards with the appropriate spare tire indicated to owners free of charge. The campaign began on December 29, 2009. Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
Notes: Blue bird's campaign number is R09PX.OWNERS may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
