Transport Canada Recall - 2024244 - MICRO BIRD
Brand(s)
Summary
Affected products
2021 | GIRARDIN | G5 COMMERCIAL BUS
Issue
On one electric bus, 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. 2022-617 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 the owner by mail and advise them to bring their bus to a dealership to replace the power steering pressure line and brake booster line.
