Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.

Power train › Axle assembly

Summary: Mci is recalling certain model year 2010 D4000, D4005, D4500, D4505, E4500, and J4500 model motor coaches manufactured from September 2009 through may 2010, equipped with arvinmeritor front and tag axle assemblies. The suspect axles may have had improper torque applied to the hub/rotor/wheel adapter bolts during the assembly process. Reduced bolt torque could lead to vibration loosening of the bolt.
Consequence: This could result in a loss of the wheel possibly resulting in a crash.
Remedy: Mci will notify owners and dealers will repair the motor coaches free of charge. The safety recall began on may 28, 2010. Owners may contact mci at 1-800-241-2947.
