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.
Certain coaches previously repaired as part of recall 2012173 may require additional modifications. The power draw from the LED interior lights may exceed the design limits of the fuse block terminal and power splice connector installed as part of the previous recall. As a result, these components could overheat, potentially resulting in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: MCI authorized facilities will install a revised fuse holder for the LED interior lights.
A failure of this component (electrical) 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 coaches, the power draw from the LED interior lights may exceed the design limits of the electrical circuit. This could allow certain components to overheat, which could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: MCI authorized facilities will modify the electrical circuit for the LED interior lights.
A failure of this component (electrical) 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, 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 buses, the driver's seat shock damper may break allowing the driver's seat to unexpectedly drop to the floor without warning. In the event this situation should occur while the bus is in operation, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage or personal injury to occupants of passengers or pedestrians. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat shock if necessary.
A failure of this component (seats and restraints) 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 equipped with a Ricon F9 series cassette wheelchair lift, an improperly manufactured switch in the wheelchair lift restraint buckle may allow operation of the lift with the safety belt not fully latched. If the belt is not properly fastened, a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against unwanted movement, resulting a fall risk, potentially causing serious injury or death. Correction: The manufacturer will provide instructional information and warning decals.
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, 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.

Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, the steer angle sensor -- a component of the electronic stability control (ESC) system -- can fail. This could cause the ESC system to misinterpret data from the yaw rate sensor and the lateral accelerometer as a directional instability requiring intervention by brake activation of a selected wheel. This could occur during low speed turning manoeuvres. Unexpected brake application could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steer angle sensor.
