What is wrong

(Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Micro Bird G5 school buses manufactured September 20, 2010, through June 13, 2013, and equipped with a Roush CleanTech LLC propane fuel system. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected vehicles may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.
What could happen
A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
