Summary
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2018-2020 MBII school buses. The GenQ seats equipped with Type 2 seat belts may have been attached with insufficient hardware. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, “Seating Systems”, and 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”

Chronology :
Following a revision of the installation instructions, a discrepancy was discovered. Further analysis allowed us to discover that between 2018 and 2020, the GenQ seats equipped with Type 2 seat belts installation instruction did not include a washer that appeared in later instructions.
Tests were performed to validate whether the 2018-2020 hardware was sufficient. After analysis, it was decided on April 21, 2022, to recall vehicles built during the identified period and designed with GenQ seats equipped with Type 2 seat belts.
We have received no claim, nor any accident, injury or fatality has been reported to Micro Bird regarding this situation.
