2010–2011 Micro Bird MB II Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird MB II Multipurpose vans manufactured from january 13, 2010, through march 22, 2011, equipped with a wheelchair lift platform at the right rear door. The wheelchair lift door is not linked to an alarm visible to the driver which would activate when the door is not fully closed. These vans fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor Vehicle safety standard no. 206, "door locks and door retention components."

💥 The risk

The driver could move the Vehicle unaware that the wheelchair lift door is not fully closed. The door could become fully open while the Vehicle is in operation and this situation may cause injury to nearby pedestrians or damages to other vehicles.

🔧 The fix

Micro bird will notify owners and dealers will install a green telltale in the control panel that will illuminate when the wheelchair lift door is not fully closed. The repair will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began during june 2011. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
