Micro Bird Recalls School Buses Due to Door Mechanism Defect

Micro Bird is recalling 2,454 school and transit buses because a door component may delaminate, causing the door to open unexpectedly and increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (door mechanism) that poses a risk of harm (passengers falling out), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling certain 2023-2025 T-Series, G5, and 2024-2025 MB II school buses and 2025 G5 transit buses equipped with a power-assisted service door. The recall involves 2,454 vehicles in total.

The defect involves rod-eye rings that attach the front and rear door panels to the opening gear. These rings may delaminate, which prevents the driver from controlling the door. As a result, the door panel may remain in the open position or open unexpectedly, increasing 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 number for this recall is 25-116-RUS.
