Summary

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. "Micro Bird" is recalling certain model year 2015 T-Series school buses manufactured August 24, 2015, to September 17, 2015, and built on Ford Transit Chassis. The affected vehicles have the electrical wire of the heated cross view mirror on the passenger entrance door side connected to the same electrical harness as the heated and remote rear view mirror. The diameter of this electrical wire is not sufficient for the amperage required for all of the heated mirrors.

Consequence

The insufficient diameter may cause the electrical wire to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will install a separate connection for the passenger entrance door mirror, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2015. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 extension 364. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 15-061-MUS.
