Defect
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.

Safety risk
In absence of the flashing lights, a vehicle approaching a school bus that is loading or unloading students, may not stop. This situation could cause injury or death of a passenger.
Remedy
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.
