Electrical recalls for the 2011 Micro Bird G5
- The problem
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2006-2021 MBII and G5 school buses. An inactive electrical harness that is secured in an opening in the B-pillar may become damaged from sharp edges inside the opening.
- The risk
- A damaged electrical harness may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- Dealers will secure the electrical harness and remove the fuse linked to the main cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 20, 2022. Owners may contact Micro Bird's customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-092-HUC.
- The problem
- Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb ii school buses manufactured from october 1, 2009, through march 16, 2011. The wire on the 8-way flashing light power circuit is too small causing the terminal connection to overheat. If the connection fails, the 8- way system will stop working.
- The risk
- In absence of the flashing lights, a vehicle approaching a school bus that is loading or unloading students, may not stop. This situation could cause injury or death of a passenger.
