The defect
Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. (Micro Bird) is recalling certain 2023-2025 G5 transit buses equipped with a power-assisted service door. The rod-eye rings attaching the front and rear door panels to the opening gear may delaminate, preventing the door from being controlled by the driver.
The risk
The door panel may remain in the open position or open unexpectedly, increasing the risk of passenger being injured falling out of the bus.
