2002–2026 Micro Bird G5 SCHOOL BUS and MBII SCHOOL BUS and other models recall: seats and restraints

Certain 2002–2026 Micro Bird G5 School Bus, MBII School Bus and CT‑SERIES School Bus models equipped with a Q'Straint Slide N' Click wheelchair restraint system are affected. The anchor screw caps for the wheelchair restraint system may not have been installed properly, so tie-downs may not lock correctly and could detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Micro Bird will notify owners by mail with instructions to inspect and, if necessary, secure the anchor screw caps, or owners can schedule repairs at a Micro Bird dealership.
