2006 Blue Bird ALL American & 2006 Blue Bird Vision recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
