Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2015 Micro Bird Ct-Series Commercial Bus in Canada.
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.
Tie-downs that detach in a crash could increase the risk of injury.
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.
On certain buses, the 150-A breaker installed under the driver’s seat may be too large for the wiring connected to it. As a result, the wiring could overheat before the circuit breaker trips.
An electrical circuit that overheats could increase the risk of a fire.
Micro Bird will notify owners by mail and provide them with a replacement circuit breaker that has a lower current rating, and the directions for installing it.
Certain buses built on a GM or Ford Chassis may have been equipped with defective GO-ES Foldaway seats. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat back may not remain locked into place, which could increase the risk of injury to seat occupant in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, repair and re-inspect the seat using the provided procedure.
A failure of this component (seats and restraints) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
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.
A failure of this component (seats and restraints) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
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.
A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
