The problem
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Micro Bird G5, MB II, and T-Series school buses. During manufacturing, the seat belt anchorage plate may not have been correctly attached to the wall, limiting the capacity of the shoulder belt to restrain a passenger in the event of a crash.
The risk
If the belt anchorage plate detaches from the wall and cannot properly restrain a passenger it can increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Micro Bird Corporation will provide inspection and field modification instructions, and the material kit required to complete this recall repair, free of charge. The recall began September 26, 2018. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 18-075-CUS.
