2006–2010 Blue Bird Micro Bird recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain model year 2006 through 2010 blue Bird Micro Bird single rear wheel model school buses manufactured from august 31, 2005 through september 27, 2009, fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." if the vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, then the tire and loading placard should indicate "none" under the size and recommended tire inflation pressure. The placard listed inflation pressure for a spare tire that was the same as the front tire inflation pressure.

💥 The risk

Inflation pressure required for the rear tires could be higher than the front tire which could cause premature tire wear resulting in a potential tire failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

🔧 The fix

Blue Bird will provide replacement tire and loading placards with the appropriate spare tire indicated to owners free of charge. The campaign began on december 29, 2009. Owners may contact blue Bird at 1-478-822-2242.

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.)
