2006–2021 Micro Bird G5 School BUS recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Corp. Mirco Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2006-2008 G5, 2010-2012 G5, 2014-2015 G5, and 2020-2021 G5 school buses equipped with transversal wheelchair track anchorages. The wheelchair track anchorages may not sufficiently secure a wheelchair and detach during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 222, "School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection."

💥 The risk

Wheelchair track anchorages that detach may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will reattach the transversal anchorages, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2024. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 23-104-TUS.

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.)
