Attention Update 450 LXi Recall   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #22057 of 22070 |
To our valued Customers,

We at Coachworks Holdings have, and always will, place the safety and
well being of our family of Blue Bird owners as our highest priority.
In order to protect your health and well being as well as preserve
your investment in your Wanderlodge, we are acting as a facilitator
to help implement quickly and efficiently a safety recall that Blue
Bird Body Company has had to file with NHTSA (National Highway
Transportation Safety Administration) to address an overloading of
the front axle at the time the vehicles were manufactured and shipped.

While some of you may be aware of the initial recall as reported by
the FMCA and posted on Wanderlodge forums, the matter has been
reevaluated by Blue Bird Body Company and a second recall has been
filed that now impacts all 450 LXi's manufactured by Blue Bird Body
Company.

This second, broader recall, requires that all owners cease operating
their vehicles until some remedial work can be accomplished. The
fundamentals of the recall require that all vehicles receive new
front tires with an "L" load rating and filled to and maintained at
130psi. Once new tires are installed and the vehicle is unloaded to
16,000 pounds they will need to be driven to either our Fort Valley
Location or our Riverside California location for a hardware upgrade
to 17,000 pound front axle rating and new axle rating placards
applied.

We believe many coaches will be in compliance with their load rating
requirements at that time and will their participation with the
recall will be completed.

Coaches that exceed 17,000 pounds when loaded will need to remain
parked until a new 18,000 pound axle becomes available in late
December of this year.

All work required by this recall will be accomplished at no cost to
the Wanderlodge owner.

We are painfully aware of the inconvenience and disruption this
recall is going to cause our owners however when considered in the
context of your safety and well being this short term and unavoidable
inconvenience and the resulting enhancement to the overall safety of
your vehicle will provide you with the peace of mind and sense of
security that you have come to expect from your Wanderlodge.

As always, should you have any question or need any further
information, please do not hesitate to call me, my phone is on 24/7,
951.836.6525. Thank you for your patience, understanding and
continued support.
