2005–2006 Blue Bird Wanderlodge M450 LXI recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, a circuit design resulted in a 12.1 amp circuit draw in the brake light circuit when it is protected by a 10 amp circuit breaker.
💥 The risk
The current draw may cause the circuit breaker to fail resulting in a loss of brake lights with no warning to the driver before or after the fuse blows. A following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied, and a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will modify the circuit to incorporate relays to reduce current draw in the fused circuit to less than 10 amperes. The recall began on february 2, 2005. Owners may contact blue bird at 478-825-2021.
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.)
