⚠️ What's wrong
Certain my 2004 through 2008 girardin MB II and MB IV School and commercial minibuses manufactured between april 14, 2004, and november 28, 2007, built on ford E350 and E450 diesel chassis.

Girardin will notify owners and repair the buses by adding protective tubes free of charge. The recall began on january 7, 2008. Owners CAN contact girardin at 819-477-8222.
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.)
