2005 Blue Bird Wanderlodge recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain 45' motor homes, an incorrect bussbar cable connector was installed in the main power distribution box. Under high load conditions, arcing and shorting could occur which CAN destroy the bussbar assembly and cause loss of power to the engine.
💥 The risk
Sudden engine shut-down and loss of the ability to move the vehicle out of the roadway could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers replaced the incorrect 150 amp bussbar cable connector with a 600 amp bussbar cable connector. All vehicles have been repaired.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
