The problem
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2017-2018 G5 school buses equipped with an elevated floor and electrically adjustable driver's seat. An incorrect bracket may have been installed on the driver's seat and may interfere with the seat belt pretensioner.
The risk
An impaired seat belt pretensioner may not tighten the seat belt as intended, increasing the risks of injury during a crash.
The fix
Micro Bird Corp will provide instructions for inspecting the driver's seat. If the incorrect bracket is found, dealers will replace the bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 22, 2022. Owner's may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-093-CUC.
