The problem
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2019 T-Series school buses. The 150A circuit breaker located under the driver's seat may be oversized and may not open fast enough to power off the electrical panel supply, which can lead to overheating of the wires.

Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will replace the breaker, free of charge. The recall began February 10, 2020. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 19-083-BUS.
