What is wrong
Corp. Micro Bird Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Micro Bird G5, MB II, and T-Series transit buses.

What can happen
If the belt anchorage plate detaches from the wall, and cannot properly restrain a passenger it can increase the risk of injury.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
