STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2021-2022 G5, MBII, and T-Series school buses. The inside panels under the windows may have been insufficiently attached. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 221, "School Bus Body Joint Strength."
- What it can cause
- Insufficiently attached panels may separate during a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will provide parts and instructions on how to correct the defect, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Micro Bird's customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-094-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.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 127 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% 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 2021 to 2022, 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 structure 9 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V531000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V841000 (electrical system), 24V485000 (structure), 24V484000 (structure), 24V448000 (seats).
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 July 27, 2022 as campaign 22V540000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
