2010 MICRO BIRD MB II MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE; 2011 MICRO BIRD MB II MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 Micro Bird MB II multipurpose vans manufactured between January 13, 2010, and March 22, 2011, that are equipped with a wheelchair lift platform at the right rear door. The wheelchair lift door is not linked to a visible alarm that would alert the driver when the door is not fully closed, creating a hazard where the driver could unknowingly operate the vehicle with an open door that could fully open during operation and injure pedestrians or damage other vehicles.
To remedy this issue, Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will install a green telltale light in the control panel that illuminates when the wheelchair lift door is not fully closed. The repair will be performed free of charge, with the recall beginning in June 2011. Affected owners should contact Micro Bird at 1-819-477-2012.
