2006 Blue Bird Micro Bird recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain blue Bird my 2006 Micro Bird school buses fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity." the affected buses were produced with an 8 inch bumper rather than a 10 inch bumper.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the bumper may inadequately protect components of the fuel system. This could result in a post-crash fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Blue Bird will notify its customers and replace the bumper free of charge. The recall began on march 13, 2006. Owners may contact blue Bird at 478-822-2242.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
