2012–2024 Micro Bird G5 School Bus: Seats recall
NHTSA campaign 25V190000 · 26 units potentially affected · filed Mar 26, 2025
What's wrong
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2012, 2015-2019, and 2024 G5 school buses equipped with Type 2 seat belts. The seat reinforcement supports may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Why it matters
An insufficiently retained seat can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will install reinforcement supports, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2025. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 25-113-FUS.
