Defect Description

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2015 G5 school buses manufactured February 2, 2015, to April 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have seat bottoms whose foam core may not meet the flammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."

Consequence / Hazard

If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.

Proposed Solution

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will replace the school bus seat bottoms with foam that is compliant to the safety standard, free of charge. The recall began on June 1, 2015. All of the affected vehicles are still with dealers. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued. Owners may contact Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 15-059-HUS.
