What this recall means for you
The seat-level rub rails on certain school buses may have been attached incorrectly to the side of the bus. Rub rails are meant to give protection against impacts, and if they are not properly attached they may not offer adequate protection, which raises the risk of injury to passengers.
The manufacturer will inspect the rub rails and secure them where necessary, free of charge. Owners who received the notification letter mailed December 22, 2022 can contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 and reference recall number 22-098-RUS.
