What's wrong?
The wheelchair tie-down retractor on 2024-2026 Micro Bird G5 Transit Bus and T-Series Transit Bus models is part of the restraint system for wheelchair seating positions. The retractor holds the securement webbing under tension and is supposed to lock so the wheelchair stays fixed to the floor anchorage during travel.
On affected buses, certain QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max retractors can fail to auto-lock when a wheelchair is installed. If the retractor does not lock, the webbing and hook can pull out instead of holding firm. That means the wheelchair is not properly secured at that seating position.
Operators are told to check the restraint before a trip while waiting for replacement parts. Confirm that the locking mechanism is engaged and that the webbing and hook do not extract from the retractor. After all four wheelchair tiedown retractors are secured, rock the wheelchair back and forth to confirm the retractors stay locked.
Who's affected?
The G5 Transit Bus spans 2024-2026, while the T-Series Transit Bus is included for 2025; both use the same wheelchair tie-down retractor latch/anchor.

What's the safety risk?
An unlocked wheelchair can move during transit or during a crash, increasing injury risk for the wheelchair passenger. Before each trip, confirm the retractor lock is engaged and the webbing and hook stay in place, then rock the wheelchair to verify the tiedowns hold. Repair is free at any franchised Micro Bird dealer.
