- The problem
- Mci is recalling 1,893 my 2002-2008 d model and my 2001-2008 e and j4500 motor coaches equipped with zf transmissions. There is a potential for the shift selector to malfunction as a result of a cell phone or radio being placed in close proximity to the shifter control pad.
- The risk
- When this happens, the shift selector may move into reverse without driver knowledge increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Mci is working with zf and has created a software update that protects against the potential for transient analog or digital signal interference. The recall is expected to begin during november 2008. .Owners may contact mci at 1-800-333-0371 and zf at 1-734-416-6200.
