WHEELS
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2022 G5 school buses. During wheel alignment, the alignment ring was installed at an incorrect angle, which can cause the wheels to become misaligned.
- What it can cause
- Misaligned wheels may result in uneven tire wear and stress on the suspension, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will re-align the wheels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed in November 03, 2021. Owners may contact Micro Bird's customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 21-088-AUS.
- 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.nhtsa.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 3 vehicles this is a small campaign: 97% 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, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the wheels 2 times before this, most recently in December 2015 as 15V884000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V485000 (structure), 24V484000 (structure), 24V448000 (seats), 24V297000 (steering).
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 1, 2021 as campaign 21V773000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
