Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Jan 6, 2020
134 units potentially affected
The defect: Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2019 CT-Series shuttle buses. The 150A breaker located under the driver's seat may be oversized and may not open fast enough to power off the electrical panel supply, which can lead to overheating of the wires.
The risk: If the wires overheat, there is an increased risk of a fire.
The remedy: Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will replace the breaker, free of charge. The recall began February 10, 2020. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 19-083-BUC.

SEATS

Dec 7, 2018
17 units potentially affected
The defect: Corp. Micro Bird Inc (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Micro Bird CT Series buses, equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk: In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The remedy: Micro Bird has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2019. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-507-625-6426. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 18-080-GUC.

STRUCTURE:EMERGENCY:ESCAPE/EGRESS/EXIT

Jun 14, 2016
79 units potentially affected
The defect: Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 MBII, G5, and CT-Series commercial buses manufactured August 21, 2015, to June 2, 2016. The affected buses have T-Slider window frames that may allow water to accumulate inside the frame. In freezing conditions, the accumulated water can freeze, expand and put extra pressure on the window glass causing it to shatter.
The risk: Shattered window glass may increase the risk of injury to the bus occupants.
The remedy: Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will seal or replace the windows, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2016. Owners may contact Lippert Window customer service at 1-450-378-6722 or Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 16-066-LUC.
