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 coaches, the transom windows (the rear-most side glass panels) may have been inadequately bonded during the vehicle assembly process and, as a result, could detach from the vehicle. A window separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Authorized service facilities will install mechanical retention clips to the transom windows.
A failure of this component (visual system) 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.
