What NHTSA recorded

Certain model year 2006 through 2010 girardin g5 and mbii and model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb ii school buses manufactured from january 2006 through april 5, 2011, fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 131, "school bus pedestrian safety devices." the 4-way warning lights do not have an alarm to alert the driver that the stop arm did not deploy when the 4 red lights are activated.

Possible consequence

The driver could erroneously think that the school bus stop arm is deployed while the first set of 4 red lights are activated. This condition increases risk of injury to pedestrians.

Remedy

Micro bird will notify owners and dealers will replace the affected warning lights with warning lights that have an alarm free of charge. The safety recall began during june 2011. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.
