What's wrong

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 MBII and G5 school buses manufactured May 21, 2014, to November 24, 2015. The affected vehicles may have a camber caster kit bolt that was insufficiently torqued, causing the bolt to come loose.

The risk

An insufficiently torqued bolt may become loose and fall out causing vehicle misalignment. Loss of vehicle control is possible, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will correct the torque, free of charge. The recall began on January 18, 2016. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 10-065-AUS.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
