Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Micro Bird Inc. is recalling certain 2012-2018 Micro Bird G5, MBII, and T-Series school buses equipped with S-Series and K-Series Titanium Wheelchair Lifts (models K200, K201, K550, K551, S200, S2201, S550, and S551). The wheelchair lift positioning input cam may fail during use, causing the platform to stop above the vehicle floor instead of at floor level. This defect creates a tipping hazard for wheelchair users exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Ricon dealers will replace the injection molded cam with a new aluminum machined cam. Owners will be notified, and the recall is expected to begin October 22, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012 or reference recall number 18-077-RUS.
