What this recall means for you
Certain Micro Bird G5 school buses from model years 2012, 2015 through 2019, and 2024 are equipped with Type 2 seat belts, but the seat reinforcement supports may not have been installed. As a result, these buses do not meet federal seating and seat belt anchorage safety standards.
If a seat is not adequately retained, it can detach during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to passengers. Owners should check whether their bus is affected and contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Dealers will install the reinforcement supports free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2025. You can also contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 (recall number 25-113-FUS), and check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
