Plain-English summary

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 MBII, G5, and CT-Series commercial buses manufactured between August 21, 2015, and June 2, 2016. The recall involves 79 vehicles in total.

The affected buses have T-Slider window frames that may allow water to accumulate inside the frame. In freezing conditions, this accumulated water can freeze, expand, and put extra pressure on the window glass, causing it to shatter. Shattered window glass may increase the risk of injury to the bus occupants.

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will seal or replace the windows, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2016. Owners may contact Lippert Window customer service at 1-450-378-6722 or Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 16-066-LUC.
