ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2019 MBII propane-powered buses. Following the relocation of the propane conversion controller grounding wire, after deactivation of the main battery cut-off switch, the propane module may fail, preventing the engine from starting or causing a short-circuit.
- What it can cause
- A short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will relocate the ground, free of charge. The recall began December 1, 2020. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 20-085-PUS.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 75 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 11 times before this, most recently in January 2020 as 20V005000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V149000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 22V287000 (electrical system), 20V133000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Corp. Micro Bird Inc. with NHTSA on October 2, 2020 as campaign 20V610000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
