SEATS
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2018-2019 and 2021 G5 transit buses. The seats located over the fuel filler and equipped with seat belts may detach. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- Seats that detach may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will repair the seats, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 5, 2023. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 23-103-PUC.
- 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 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% 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 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the seats 8 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V280000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V190000 (seats), 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 August 30, 2023 as campaign 23V606000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
