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 non-school buses built on Ford cutaway chassis manufactured between February 2006 and May 30, 2011. The vehicles have a wiring harness that passes behind the driver seat and becomes trapped between the B pillar and the raised floor, causing the wires to rub against the metal floor molding and damage the wire insulation. A wire with damaged insulation may cause an electrical short, which can lead to a fire.
Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The recall began on July 4, 2011. According to the record, affected owners should contact Micro Bird at 1-819-477-2012.
