Certain model year 2006 through 2010 girardin g5 and mbii and model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb ii school buses manufactured from january 2006 through april 5, 2011, fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 131, "school bus pedestrian safety devices." the 4-way warning lights do not have an alarm to alert the driver that the stop arm did not deploy when the 4 red lights are activated.
