    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2009 through 2011 micro bird g5 school buses equipped with braun century-2 and vista-2 wheelchair lifts. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair’s occupant could fall and sustain injury.

The oem cutaway wiring harness passes just rearward of the driver seat between the b pillar and the raised floor. The raised floor just rearward of the driver seat is trapping the wire harness causing the wires to rub against the metal floor molding, damaging the wire insulation.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Certain girardin model year 2006 through 2010 and micro bird by girardin model year 2009 through 2010 g5 and 2003 through 2006 girardin mb IV transit buses fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, "bus emergency exists and window retention and release." the vehicles are equipped with thermal t-slider or panoramic type push-out windows with 2 release mechanisms (one on each side).

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Corp. Micro bird has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2009 and 2010 school buses manufactured between october 2008 and march 2010 fitted with ricon public use s and k series wheelchair lifts. Due to a problem in the software that controls the lifts up function, if the switch is released before the floor level limit switch is activated, the lift may continue its upward travel for approximately 1 second before stopping. The continued upward travel may overrun the floor level cut off point.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    When the platform overruns the vehicle floor level and stops at an angle from 15-20 degrees, it is possible for a person in a wheelchair to tip over and for someone standing on the platform to fall, possibly resulting in injuries.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Corp. Micro bird will notify owners and the repairs will be performed by authorized ricon dealers free of charge. Currently ricon is developing a software solution and is not available. Until the software solution is available, ricon will provide owners with a bulletin outlining proper wheelchair lift operation and will ship owners a dvd-based training aid to promote proper lift operation at no cost. The safety recall began on april 1, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
