What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2025 Micro Bird G5 School Bus, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

The outer roll stop is very slow to deploy, takes minutes. You can step on it and make it go down but that is not proper. NY bus sales has looked at it numerous times and is still extremely slow. Other districts within our area have the same problem. DOT does not have a time specification that this must deploy, but that does not make it right. This is a Braun Millenium series. Braun has offered suggestions but nothing has worked.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
