Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 Micro Bird G5 and Micro Bird MBII school buses manufactured between April 14, 2010, and June 7, 2011, that are equipped with C. E. White seat cushions. The seat cushion self-latching mechanism on these buses does not activate properly when weight is applied to the center of the cushion, which means the cushion could flip up out of position during a crash and increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Micro Bird will notify owners and repair the affected seats at no charge. The recall began on January 4, 2012. Owners of affected buses should contact Micro Bird at 1-819-477-2012 to arrange for the free repair.
