Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakersReported January 6, 2020 · 134 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2019 CT-Series shuttle buses. The 150A breaker located under the driver's seat may be oversized and may not open fast enough to power off the electrical panel supply, which can lead to overheating of the wires.
Risk
If the wires overheat, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy
Micro Bird will notify owners and dealers will replace the breaker, free of charge. The recall began February 10, 2020. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1‑819‑477‑2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 19-083-BUC.

SeatsReported December 7, 2018 · 17 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Corp. Micro Bird Inc (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Micro Bird CT Series buses, equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
Remedy
Micro Bird has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2019. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1‑507‑625‑6426. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 18-080-GUC.

Risk

Remedy
