What this recall means for you
Certain 2021-2022 school buses built by Micro Bird may have inside panels under the windows that were not attached securely enough. The vehicles therefore do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 221, which governs school bus body joint strength.
If the panels are not properly attached, they may separate during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to passengers. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for when owners will be notified.
Dealers will provide parts and instructions to correct the defect at no charge. Owners can contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012, referencing recall number 22-094-PUS, and can check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.
