2017 Micro Bird CT-Series recalls
Recall 20V-004: Electrical System
Problem: 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.
Fix: 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.
Recall 18V-875: Seats
Problem: 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.
