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 buses built with a rear tag-axle steering system may exhibit a steering lock-up at highway speed.
This problem could cause a sudden loss of steering control that could create the risk of a crash.
A final repair has not yet been determined. The cause of this problem is under investigation. In the interim, the company will notify owners by mail and advise them to immediately verify that the rear tag-axle caster adjustment is within specification.
On certain buses, the adhesive bond between the window glass assembly and the aluminum window frame may degrade. If the adhesive bond degrades (also known as debonding), the window glass may detach and fall from the vehicle and potentially result in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, either repair or replace the window assemblies.

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, the Carrier Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) speed controller may fail and cause the fan motor to operate continuously in the "HIGH" speed mode, and the control switch may not operate correctly to reduce or otherwise control the fan motor speed. The PWM speed controller may overheat and cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the speed controller. Further evaluation revealed that only U.S. vehicles are affected.

On certain coaches equipped with Detroit Diesel 60 series engines, the turbocharger can fail, allowing lubricating oil to enter the exhaust system. This can result in an engine compartment fire, possibly resulting in personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) and install a barometric pressure sensor. The updated ECM calibration will detect a turbocharger wheel failure. The logic will then reduce fuel to the engine and safely shut it down to prevent a fire.
