What happened

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2018 T-Series transit buses equipped with three-place seats with Type 1 lap belt seat belts. In a crash, the seats or seat belt attachments may fail to remain secured to the floor, which increases the risk of injury to occupants and violates federal safety standards for seat belt anchorages and seating systems.

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will install a modification kit to keep the seat and seat belt assembly anchored at no charge. The recall began on April 3, 2018. Affected owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 and reference recall number 18-073-TUS.
