2015–2016 Micro Bird G5 School BUS & 2015–2016 Micro Bird MB II School BUS recall: other
⚠️ What's wrong
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2015 MBII and G5 school buses manufactured between May 1, 2015, and December 18, 2015, equipped with Transpec stop arms, part numbers T6000-, T6100-, and T7000-. The STOP decal may peel off the plastic blade of the stop arm. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 131, "School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices."
💥 The risk
Absence of the reflective decal would reduce visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Micro Bird will notify owners and recall repair kits will be available free of charge. The recall began on January 20, 2016. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012.
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.)
