NHTSA campaign 25V599, reported September 11, 2025, 419 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2023-2025 G5 transit and school buses with a power-assisted service door may have rod-eye rings that delaminate, which can keep the driver from controlling the door. The door panel may remain open or open unexpectedly.

An unexpectedly open or stuck-open door raises the risk that a passenger could be injured or fall out of the bus. Owners and fleet operators should take this seriously and have the vehicle checked promptly.

An authorized dealer will inspect the service door mechanism for signs of rod-eye ring delamination and repair it as needed, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 7, 2025. For questions, contact Micro Bird Customer Service at 819-477-2012, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
