Girardin G5 School Bus: Brakes
Affects Girardin G5 School Bus · 2021–2022 — about 23 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain electric school buses, the power steering pressure line may not be properly connected to the brake booster. As a result, power steering fluid could leak and cause a loss of power steering and power brake assist. Note: Vehicles that were inspected under Transport Canada recall no. 2022-618 also require this repair. Safety Risk: A loss of power brakes can cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort. Both could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your bus to a dealership to replace the power steering pressure line and brake booster line.
