Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2018 Micro Bird G5, MB-II, and T-series school buses equipped with CE White/HSM SB11-30" series seats (either standard unbelted or with lap belts only). The foam in the knee impact area of the lower seatback may not absorb enough impact energy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury and fails to meet federal safety standards.
Micro Bird will notify owners and have dealers insert an additional piece of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam into the seatback at no charge. Interim notifications were issued to owners on September 12, 2018, and the recall began December 7, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 and reference recall number 18-074-SUS.
