ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro) is recalling certain 2012-2023 G5, 2012-2023 MBII and 2015-2022 T-Series school buses. The power cable that provides electricity to the air conditioning control board may have a loose connection to the power stud on the board.
- What it can cause
- A loose power cable connection may cause the control board to overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will redirect the power cable and secure the power cable connect as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 2, 2023. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-096-VUS.
- 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 2,753 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 69% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2012 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 10 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 17 times before this, most recently in September 2022 as 22V692000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 31 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V223000 (suspension), 25V222000 (suspension), 25V190000 (seats), 24V841000 (electrical system).
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 September 23, 2022 as campaign 22V715000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
