An improperly crimped wire may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
13 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory.
1 campaign covering the 2018 MICRO BIRD G5 TRANSIT BUS carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
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 improperly crimped wire may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
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 vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Seats that detach may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
A loose power cable connection may cause the control board to overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
A damaged electrical harness may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
Two 2018 MICRO BIRD G5 TRANSIT 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.
