    Issue: On one G5 electric bus, the high-voltage power assist system for the steering and brakes may not work properly. As a result, the power assist for the steering and brakes could fail while driving. Safety Risk: A loss of power brakes can cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort. Both could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify the owner by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. Micro Bird recommends not to drive the bus until the recall repairs are completed.

  • Steering#2022617

    1 units affected

    Issue: On one G5 electric bus built on a Ford chassis, the power steering pressure line may not be properly connected to the brake booster.

A loss of power steering assist can cause a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. Both could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify the owner by mail and advise them to contact a Micro Bird dealer for an inspection of the connection between the power steering pressure line and the Hydroboost unit. The power steering line will be replaced if the connection is not secure.

  • Seats And Restraints#2021779

    773 units affected

    Issue: On certain buses, a fold-away seat was placed next to the emergency exit window. When the seat is folded, it may block the instruction label and release handle for the emergency exit.

As a result, the door panels may get stuck when the emergency release handle is used, or may not open when force is applied to the door. Additionally, the exterior emergency release handle may not allow the service door to be opened from outside of the bus. Safety Risk: A door that cannot be opened could delay exiting the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency response. Both of these issues could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a dealer to adjust the service door. Alternatively, Micro Bird will provide owners instructions on how to correctly adjust the service door.
