Corp. Micro Bird Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 21, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 3. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2015 T-Series school buses manufactured August 24, 2015, to September 17, 2015, and built on Ford Transit Chassis. The affected vehicles have the electrical wire of the heated cross view mirror on the passenger entrance door side connected to the same electrical harness as the heated and remote rear view mirror. The diameter of this electrical wire is not sufficient for the amperage required for all of the heated mirrors.
The risk
The insufficient diameter may cause the electrical wire to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will install a separate connection for the passenger entrance door mirror, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2015. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 extension 364. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 15-061-MUS.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V684000.
