November 30, 2009 – According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defect Investigations (ODI), certain Model Year 2006 through 2010 Blue Bird Micro Bird single rear wheel model school buses manufactured from August 31, 2005 through September 27, 2009, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “tire selection and rims.”
If the vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, then the tire and loading placard should indicate “none” under the size and recommended tire inflation pressure. The placard listed inflation pressure for a spare tire that was the same as the front tire inflation pressure.
Inflation pressure required for the rear tires could be higher than the front tire which could cause premature tire wear resulting in a potential tire failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
