2007 Mci D4505 Recall

On certain buses, the wrong glass may have been installed on the lower front entry door panel. As a result, the glass may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.

An incorrect window glass could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to replace the lower glass panel. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the lower glass panel replaced at an authorized MCI service center.

On certain vehicles, specific operating conditions (such as tight, successive, highly banked curves in opposite directions), could trigger unintended Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system intervention. As a result, the ESC may unnecessarily apply one of the front brakes in order to correct the perceived oversteer condition. This may cause the vehicle to deviate from the intended path, thereby increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the ESC module.

A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).

On certain vehicles, the Ricon wheelchair lift located in baggage bay #2 could become disengaged from a locked position and slide freely. As a secondary mode of failure, if the wheelchair lift is deployed manually, when the unit is placed back in storage, the drive mechanism may not re-engage properly, allowing the unit to move freely. An unrestrained wheelchair lift may break through the compartment door and extend beyond the outside of the vehicle while in motion, causing potential injury to persons and or damage to other vehicles or property. Correction: The manufacturer/Dealers will install a Ricon-designed retrofit kit.

On certain vehicles, an incorrectly manufactured alternator cable could cause an electrical short. This could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator cable.

A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain buses, the LED sign, mounted to the side of the bus to display destination message, could suffer electronic circuit board corrosion. This could cause an electrical short circuit, which could result in a fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Luminator will replace the electrical circuit connector board.

A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Certain coaches may experience interference between the driveshaft mounting hardware and tag axle structure. If contact is hard enough and prolonged, it could shear the heads off some or all of the bearing cap bolts, freeing the bearings and possibly releasing the driveshaft. Separation of the driveshaft would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. In addition, once separated from the vehicle the driveshaft could cause vehicle damage or damage to other vehicles and property, and could potentially result in personal injury or death to bystanders. Correction: Dealers will install a retrofit kit designed to limit suspension travel and allow sufficient clearance.

On certain motorhomes equipped with a ZF ASTRONIC shift selector there is a potential to malfunction as a result of a cellular phone, PDA, radio interference, improper radio antenna or power supplies being within the ZF recommended 50Cm (20 in) minimum distance. When this situation happens the ZF shift selector may move into reverse without driver knowledge which could result in a crash causing personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.

A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, D-Coach facelift windows are experiencing de-bounding. De-bounding is a partial separation of the insulated glass unit to the glass frame on both the inner and outer panes of glass. Even though no separation from coaches were reported, if neglected, it could result in material damages and/or personal injuries. Correction: MCI will instruct their clients to inspect the windows for signs of water leak, wind noise or partial de-bonding. Windows showing these signs will be replaced.

Certain coaches may experience interference between the driveshaft mounting hardware and tag axle structure. If contact is hard enough and prolonged, it could shear the heads off some or all of the bearing cap bolts, freeing the bearings and possibly releasing the driveshaft. This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle and any nearby objects. Correction: Dealers will install air spring mounting brackets designed to limit suspension travel and allow sufficient clearance. Note: Further evaluation revealed that only U.S. vehicles are affected.

A failure of this component (powertrain) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
