12- Seats And Restraints#2026117
1,977 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the anchor screw caps for the wheelchair restraint system may not have been installed properly. As a result, the tie-downs may not lock correctly and could detach in a crash. Note: This recall only affects certain buses equipped with a Q'Straint Slide N' Click wheelchair restraint system. Safety Risk: Tie-downs that detach in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect and, if necessary, secure the anchor screw caps for the wheelchair restraint system. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the repairs performed at a Micro Bird dealership.
- Structure#2024369
2,030 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the exterior handle for the rear emergency door may not be strong enough. As a result, the handle could break and cause the emergency door not to be able to be opened from the outside. Safety Risk: A door that can't be opened could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could also delay emergency responders from entering the bus. Both issues could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your bus to a dealership to replace the rear emergency door exterior handle.
- Electrical#2022542
964 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the power cable for the air conditioning control board may have a loose connection. As a result, the circuit board could overheat and melt. Safety risk: A circuit board that overheats could create the risk of a fire. Corrective actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact a Micro Bird dealer to have your vehicle(s) repaired.
- Electrical#2022219
1,549 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, an unused wiring harness located in the B-pillar area could become damaged. If this happens, the wires could short circuit. Note: This recall only affects buses built on a General Motors chassis. Safety Risk: A short circuit could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect the wiring and correct this problem.
- Label#2021750
236 units affected
Issue: This recall affects certain buses altered by Dynamic Specialty Vehicles to carry wheelchair passengers. After the buses were modified, the company didn't apply an altered vehicle label with an updated cargo-carrying capacity. As a result, a person might overload the bus with cargo. This could lead to poor handling or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Dynamic Specialty Vehicles will send each owner an altered vehicle label with an updated cargo-carrying capacity. If you would like help to install it, you should contact Dynamic Specialty Vehicles.
- Structure#2021436
4,225 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the service door may not be adjusted correctly. 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.
- Seats And Restraints#2018405
294 units affected
On certain buses, the passenger shoulder belt anchorage plate(s) may not be attached correctly. In the event of a crash, the belt anchorage plate may become partially or totally detached, reducing the capacity of the shoulder belt to retain the passenger, resulting in an increased risk of injury or fatality. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, re-install the shoulder belt anchorage plate using the correct procedure.
- Structure#2016290
167 units affected
Certain buses may have been manufactured with defective T-sliding windows that could allow water to accumulate in the central horizontal bar and not drain out properly. If this condition is present during a cold period, the accumulated water could freeze, expand and permanently deform the horizontal center bar, applying a stress on the glass to a point where it could potentially shatter, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Lippert Components Canada will provide instructions and some of the equipment necessary to the owners of the affected buses so that they can repair the faulty windows. The equipment that is not supplied is subject to a refund offer.
- Steering#2016008
39 units affected
On certain vehicles built on a Ford chassis, wheel alignment adjustment bolts may not have been sufficiently tightened at time of assembly. This could allow suspension and steering components to loosen, potentially resulting in separation, which could affect vehicle handling and steering and result in crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be given instructions on how to have the bolt tightening torque inspected.
- Other#2014455
9 units affected
On certain buses equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift, the lift platform sides may crack, which could cause the lift to lean against the vehicle door(s) and potentially fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, putting the lift operator at risk of injury. Correction: Ricon Corporation repair facilities will inspect lift platforms for cracks and repair as necessary, and install a repair kit.
- Other#2010089
51 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a Ricon F9 series cassette wheelchair lift, an improperly manufactured switch in the wheelchair lift restraint buckle may allow operation of the lift with the safety belt not fully latched. If the belt is not properly fastened, a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against unwanted movement, resulting a fall risk, potentially causing serious injury or death. Correction: The manufacturer will provide instructional information and warning decals.
- Seats And Restraints#2010026
46 units affected
On certain vehicles, some Freedman double foldaway passenger's seats seat belts fail to comply with the strength requirement of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. In the event of a crash, the seat and seatbelt assembly may not restrain the occupant as intended and could result in personal injury or death. Correction: A steel plate will be added under the floor over the actual reinforcement seat support at the attachment point of the seat.
