An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit or a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
10 safety recall campaigns.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An unsecured wheelchair can move during transit or a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
In the event of an emergency, a broken door handle can prevent or delay emergency responders from entering the bus, increasing the risk of injury.
A loose power cable connection may cause the control board to overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
The service door may not open, preventing evacuation of the vehicle in case of emergency, and increasing the risk of injury.
If the emergency door won't stay open during an evacuation it can increase the risk of injury.
If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.
Two 2015 MICRO BIRD T-SERIES SCHOOL BUSs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
