Recall 2021750 [Canada]: Label
Issue: this recall affects certain buses altered by dynamic specialty vehicles to carry wheelchair passengers. After the buses were modified, the company didn't apply an altered vehicle label with an updated cargo-carrying capacity. As a result, a person might overload the bus with cargo. This could lead to poor handling or a tire failure. Safety risk: poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: dynamic specialty vehicles will send each owner an altered vehicle label with an updated cargo-carrying capacity. If you would like help to install it, you should contact dynamic specialty vehicles.
Recall 2019654 [Canada]: Electrical
Issue: on certain buses, the 150-a breaker installed under the driver’s seat may be too large for the wiring connected to it. As a result, the wiring could overheat before the circuit breaker trips.

Corrective actions: micro bird will notify owners by mail and provide them with a replacement circuit breaker that has a lower current rating, and the directions for installing it.
