What is wrong
Micro bird is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and micro bird mbii school buses manufactured from april 14, 2010, through june 7, 2011, equipped with a c. E. White seat cushion. The seat cushion self-latching mechanism does not activate when a 48.4 pound mass is placed on the center of the seat cushion and accordingly, these seats fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 222, "school bus passenger seating and crash protection."
Risk
If the seat cushion is not fully latched to the seat structure, it could flip up out of position in the event of a crash. This could increase the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.
Remedy
Micro bird will notify owners and will repair the seats free of charge. The safety recall began on january 4, 2012. Owners may contact micro bird at 1‑819‑477‑2012.
