What's wrong

Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 MBII, G5, and CT-Series commercial buses manufactured August 21, 2015, to June 2, 2016. The affected buses have T-Slider window frames that may allow water to accumulate inside the frame. In freezing conditions, the accumulated water can freeze, expand and put extra pressure on the window glass causing it to shatter.

Consequence

Shattered window glass may increase the risk of injury to the bus occupants.

Remedy

Micro Bird will notify owners, and dealers will seal or replace the windows, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 19, 2016.
