What NHTSA recorded

Micro bird is recalling certain model year 2011 mb ii school buses manufactured from august 16, 2011, through september 16, 2011. During production, the 2 sets of lower anchorages which are used to restrain a portable child seat, were not installed. Accordingly, the buses fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." 

Possible consequence

If a portable child restraint is installed in the vehicle, it will only be secured by the seat belt instead of the seat belt and the lower anchorages. In the event of a crash, a child not sufficiently restrained could be injured.

Remedy

Micro bird will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing lower anchorages free of charge. The safety recall began on january 5, 2012. Owners may contact micro bird at 1-819-477-2012.
