Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling 61 of its 2019 G5 school buses because the windshield defrosting and defogging system may fail. A component called the LIN gateway module can malfunction, causing the defrosting system to stop working entirely. This defect means the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for visibility. Dealers will replace the faulty module with a new one at no cost to owners.
If the windshield defrosting system fails, the driver's visibility through the front window can be significantly reduced by frost or fog. This decreased visibility increases the likelihood of a crash, especially in cold or humid weather conditions.
Dealer will replace the LIN gateway module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 17, 2024. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 24-105-CUS.
