Does anyone have any new 2021 Microbirds on the Chevy platform? If so, did you have floor bowing issues? We have 2 new buses that have very excessive bowing in the floor just above the rear axle. It bows almost 1/2" when walking down the center isle. Just curious if this is a common issue and did the manufacture do anything to resolve it. Thank you for any info you can provide.

Is it just the rubber flooring bowing up or the wood subfloor underneath?

It is the wood subfloor, you can see it from under the bus. There is a large, maybe 3.5ft, section that doesn't have any bracing where this is happening.

IMO, the floor bowing issue is not a common issue, otherwise if that would be part of the design which is very odd. So, there should be a problem during manufacturing since the units are new and should be resolved right away.
