CORP. MICRO BIRD, INC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Aug 15, 2011, covering about 671 vehicles.
The problem
Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb II school buses manufactured from october 1, 2009, through march 16, 2011.

Micro bird will notify owners, and provide an uprated wiring kit with a relay, free of charge. Micro bird will reimburse for labor. The safety recall began on september 29, 2011. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.
