Power Train / Axle Assembly
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain my 2005-2007 wanderlodge 450 lxi motor homes equipped with arvin meritor and trw tie rod ends, the tie rod assemblies were produced with steel tubing that did not meet design specifications which could result in failure of the tie rod assembly when coach mileage approaches or exceeds 100,000 miles. Also the front axle curb weight may exceed the specified 16,000 pounds weight rating.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The existing tie rod assemblies may not perform as designed and may deform or fracture which may reduce steering control and could result in a vehicle crash. In addition, insufficient front tire inflation pressure reduces the weight rating of the front tires; and improper alignment of the front suspension can cause premature tire wear and subsequent degradation of the structural integrity of one or both of the front tires.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the left and right hand front tie rod ends along with a certification label stating the correct weight limits. Appropriate replacement tires will be provided and the front steering alignment will be checked and corrected, if necessary. New tire data decals will also be supplied. The recall began on march 14, 2008. Owners may contact blue bird at 478-825-2021.

05V044000Received . 22 units.
Exterior Lighting / Brake Lights
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
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.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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.
