NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V448
Manufacturer Corp. Micro Bird, Inc.
Components SEATS
Potential Number of Units Affected 463
Summary
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2011-2025 Micro Bird G5 school buses, equipped with certain tracked 2-place seats with lap and shoulder seat belts. The seats may be improperly attached. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”
Remedy
Micro Bird will provide instructions on how to inspect and reattach the seats as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 12, 2024. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird’s number for this recall is 24-108-TUS.
Notes
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.
Chronology :
During development of a floor reinforcement, testing was conducted in October 2023, to validate that tracked seats could withstand the strength required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, Standard #210, โSeat belt assembly anchorages.โ The 2-place seats equipped with lap and shoulder seat belts failed the test.
The leg, and more precisely, the way it is attached to the track, was identified as the source of the failure. But since HSM, the seats supplier, had conducted the same test with success, further investigation was required.
The following months, further tests were conducted, both by HSM and Micro Bird, obtaining either nonconclusive or contradictory results. In the end, it was determined that the original hardware may or may not be sufficient to ensure that 2-place seats equipped with lap and shoulder seat belts meet the requirements of Standards #210, and it was decided, on June 12, 2024, to recall the vehicles designed with those seats.
Micro Bird has not received any report of incident or claim regarding this defect
