SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2018-2020 MBII school buses. The GenQ seats equipped with Type 2 seat belts may have been attached with insufficient hardware. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems", and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- An insufficiently attached seat may detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- No remedy has been established at this time. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 21, 2022. Owners may contact Micro Bird's customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-091-GUS.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 457 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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 model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the seats 7 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V875000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V484000 (structure), 22V715000 (electrical system), 22V286000 (electrical system), 21V530000 (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 April 27, 2022 as campaign 22V280000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
