What's wrong

Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2003-2015 MBII, 2015-2021 T-Series, and 2006-2022 G5 transit buses. The emergency release handle on the service door may bind, not allowing the door panels to open.

The risk

The service door may not open, preventing evacuation of the vehicle in case of emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will provide instructions on how to correctly adjust the service door, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 9, 2021. Owners may contact Micro Bird's customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 21-087-DUC.
