SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2012, 2015-2019, and 2024 G5 school buses equipped with Type 2 seat belts. The seat reinforcement supports may not have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- An insufficiently retained seat can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install reinforcement supports, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2025. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 25-113-FUS.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Micro BirdG5 | 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2024 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 26 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% 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 2012 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 13 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the seats 10 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V448000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 22 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V223000 (suspension), 24V707000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V485000 (structure), 24V484000 (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 March 26, 2025 as campaign 25V190000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
