STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2021-2023 G5, 2022-2023 MBII, and 2022 T-Series school buses. The seat-level rub rails may be incorrectly attached to the side of the bus.
- What it can cause
- Incorrectly attached rub rails may not offer adequate protection against an impact, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Micro Bird will inspect and secure the rub rails, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 22, 2022. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 22-098-RUS.
- 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 777 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, 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 10 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V540000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V223000 (suspension), 25V222000 (suspension), 24V841000 (electrical system), 24V707000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 November 3, 2022 as campaign 22V826000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
