What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2025 G5 transit buses and 2025 G5 school buses equipped with a power-assisted service door. The recall addresses a defect where the rod-eye rings attaching the front and rear door panels to the opening gear may delaminate. This failure can prevent the driver from controlling the door.
If the door mechanism fails, the door panel may remain in the open position or open unexpectedly. This condition increases the risk of passengers being injured by falling out of the bus.
Dealers will inspect the service door mechanism for signs of rod-eye ring delamination and repair the mechanism as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 7, 2025. Owners can contact Micro Bird Customer Service at 819-477-2012. Micro Bird's recall numbers are 25-114-UUS and 25-116-RUC.
