Micro Bird Recalls G5e School Buses Due to Wiring Harness Routing Issue

Micro Bird USA LLC is recalling 2025-2027 G5e school buses because a wiring harness may be incorrectly routed, potentially causing a loss of drive power and increasing crash risk.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wiring harness routing) that causes a loss of drive power, which the source explicitly states increases the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a score of 4.

Plain-English summary

Micro Bird USA LLC is recalling certain 2025-2027 G5e school buses. The recall addresses a defect where a wiring harness may have been incorrectly routed. This improper routing allows a metal bracket to contact and damage the harness, which can result in a loss of drive power.

A loss of driver power increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Micro Bird will inspect, replace, and properly secure the wiring harness as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 10, 2026. Owners can contact Micro Bird's Customer Service at 819-477-2012. Micro Bird's number for this recall is 26-122-HVC.
