Blue Bird Conventional recalls

  • Recall 15V730000Nov 4, 20155,114 vehiclesModel years 2007–2008

    Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.

  • Recall 14V510000Aug 19, 20145,114 vehiclesModel years 2007–2008

    Risk: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.

  • Recall 13V543000Oct 31, 20131,747 vehiclesModel years 2014
