Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Girardin G5 and 2009-2011 Micro Bird G5 school buses built on Ford cutaway chassis between February 2006 and May 30, 2011. The original equipment manufacturer cutaway wiring harness is positioned just behind the driver seat, where the raised floor traps it against the metal floor molding. This causes the wires to rub and damage their insulation, which may result in an electrical short and potentially cause a fire.
Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses at no charge. The recall began on July 5, 2011. Affected owners may contact Micro Bird at 1-819-477-2012.
