Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. is recalling one 2023 G5 transit bus because the engine drive belt tensioner can fail, which may lead to a loose drive belt. A loose drive belt can cause the bus to suddenly lose power steering or cause the alternator and water pump to stop working. If the water pump fails, the engine may also overheat, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire. A dealer will replace the affected tensioner and the belt at no cost to the owner.
The failure of the belt tensioner can cause a sudden loss of power steering, making the bus much harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the resulting engine overheating creates an immediate fire hazard.
Dealer replacement of engine drive belt tensioner and belt.
