The problem

Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 micro bird g5 transit buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.

The risk

A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

The fix

Micro bird will notify owners, and the repairs will be performed by authorized braun dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on may 11, 2012. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.
