Recall 18V516000 · manufacturer campaign 18-075-CUS

Seat Belts › Front › Anchorage — Micro Bird · reported 6 Aug 2018 · 155 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

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.

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.
