Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 G5 school buses manufactured between June 1, 2006 and February 15, 2009 that are equipped with 39 or 45 inch seats. The recalled seats do not meet federal safety standards because some were installed without reinforcement under the floor. In the event of a crash, these seats may not absorb sufficient energy to restrain occupants as intended, which could result in injury or death.
Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will repair the buses free of charge. The safety recall began on June 29, 2010. Owners may contact Micro Bird at 1-819-477-2012.
