2007 Mci D4505 recalls 11
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2000-2012 D, E, G and J series coaches manufactured January 2000 through June 2011 and equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
- The risk
- Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
- The fix
- MCI will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers, free of charge. Owners may contact MCI at 1-847-285-2000. This campaign is MCI service bulletin 401.
- The problem
- Motor coach industries (mci) is recalling certain model year 2003, and 2007-2012 e and j models along with model year 2007-2012 d4000, d4005, d4500, d4505, d4000istv motor coaches equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) modules, manufactured from october 2002, through october 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. This might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
- The risk
- If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Mci will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. The safety recall began on january 4, 2012. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
- The problem
- Mci is recalling certain model year 2000-2009 d4000, model year 2001-2010 d4500 and model year 2005-2007 d4505 coaches equipped with ricon wheelchair lift (wcl) and a cassette-type wcl compartment door. The wheelchair lift may become disengaged from a locked position and slide unrestrained on its rollers in the storage structure, potentially breaking through the cassette door and extending beyond the outside of the door when the coach is in motion, particularly when the coach is making a left turn.
- The risk
- If the coach is in motion, potential injury to persons and/or damage to other vehicles or property could occur.
- The fix
- Mci will provide parts and labor to install free of charge to customers, a ricon designed retrofit kit that includes a spring loaded lock mechanism. The safety recall began on march 31, 2010. Owners may contact mci customer service line at 1-800-241-2947.
- The problem
- Mci is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 d4000, model year 2005-2009 d4500 and d4505 transit buses, equipped with caterpillar c13 engine and 50dn alternator. The alternator cable may become loose within the cable clamp, which could result in chafing of the alternator cable and possible arcing of the cable wires.
- The risk
- THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
- The fix
- Mci will notify owners and replace the alternator cable clamp and related hardware free of charge. The safety recall began on november 30, 2009. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
- The problem
- Mci is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 d series coaches, equipped with luminator horizon led side destination signs. The connector board can corrode due to an accumulation of moisture under the connector.
- The risk
- A short could occur, possibly causing smoke and fire.
- The fix
- Mci will notify owners and luminator will repair the buses free of charge. Please see luminator's defect report 09e-054. The safety recall began on november 9, 2009. Owners may contact luminator at 1-972-516-3033 or mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
- The problem
- Mci is recalling 103 my 2005-2008 d4500 and d4505 coaches equipped with detroit diesel series 60 engines and a zf transmission. Customers may experience a possible interference between the drive shaft u-joint bearing cap bolts and the tag axle center beam assembly.
- The risk
- Interference between the bearing cap bolts and the axle center beam assembly could cause the bearing cap bolts to shear, freeing the bearings and possibly releasing the drive shaft, increasing the risk of vehicle damage or a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will install a tag axle suspension spacer kit and an spl250 driveshaft retrofit kit to limit the suspension travel and reduce the swing diameter of the driveshaft thereby increasing the clearance and eliminating any possible interference. The recall began on february 25, 2009. Owners may contact mci at 1800-241-2947.
- 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.
- The problem
- Mci is recalling 185 my 2006-2007 d4005 and d4505 motor coaches equipped with dura side body egress windows. These coaches fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, 'Bus emergency exits and window retention and release.' The windows were produced with inconsistent priming on the primary and secondary bond lines.
- The risk
- The purpose of this standard is to minimize the likelihood of occupants being thrown from the bus and to provide a means of readily accessible emergency egress.
- The fix
- Mci will notify owners instructing them to inspect the windows for signs of water leak, wind noise, or visible partial de-bonding. Windows showing these signs will be replaced free of charge by dura (please see 07e042). The recall began on august 27, 2007. Owners can contact dura at 1-248-844-1615 or mci at 1-800-241-2947.
- The problem
- Certain dura side body egress windows, side body lavatory egress windows, and non-egress side body windows manufactured between november 1, 2005, and july 19, 2006, installed as original equipment on certain my 2006 and 2007 motor coach industries (mci) d coaches. The windows were produced with inconsistent priming on the primary and secondary bond lines which fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, Bus emergency exits and window retention and release.
- The risk
- The purpose of this standard is to minimize the likelihood of occupants being thrown from the bus and to provide a means of readily accessible emergency egress.
- The fix
- Mci will notify owners instructing them to inspect the windows for signs of water leak, wind noise, or visable partial de-bonding. Windows showing these signs will be replaced free of charge by dura. The recall is expected to begin during july 2007. Owners can contact dura at 248-844-1615.
- The problem
- On certain d series motor coaches, there could be a possible interference between the drive shaft mounting hardware and the tag axle structure.
- The risk
- The bearing cap bolts could shear, freeing the bearings, and possibly releasing the drive shaft, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Shims will be installed above the tag axle air spring mounting brackets to limit the suspension travel. The recall is expected to begin during january 2007. Owners may contact mci at 1-800-241-2947.
