Defect, in the NHTSA record
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 MBII, G5, and T-Series school buses manufactured January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2014, and equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts built by the Ricon Corporation. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain model year 2006 through 2010 girardin g5 and mbii and model year 2010 and 2011 micro bird g5 and mb II school buses manufactured from january 2006 through april 5, 2011, fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 131, "school bus pedestrian safety devices." the 4-way warning lights do not have an alarm to alert the driver that the stop arm did not deploy when the 4 red lights are activated.

Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Micro bird will notify owners and dealers will replace the affected warning lights with warning lights that have an alarm free of charge. The safety recall began during june 2011. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.

Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Corp. Micro bird has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain model year 2007 through 2010 school buses manufactured between december 2007 and march 2010 fitted with ricon public use s and k series wheelchair lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Micro bird is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on m,arch 31, 2010. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000 or micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.
