What's wrong

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Micro Bird G5 school buses manufactured September 20, 2010, through June 13, 2013, and equipped with a Roush CleanTech LLC propane fuel system. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected vehicles may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.

The risk

A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fix

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aluminum fuel line fitting with a new stainless steel fitting, free of charge. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 14-057-RSU.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
