Electrical system

Summary: 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.
Consequence: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: 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.

Structure › Body › Door

Summary: Mci is recalling model year 2001-2004 G4500 motor coaches equipped with wheelchair lifts. If the upper wheelchair door opens due to a malfunction of the door's latches, there is a telltale light in the instrument panel that illuminates to alert the driver that the upper wheelchair door is not fully latched and closed, however the driver could fail to notice that this light is illuminated.
Consequence: This could result in the wheelchair door sliding open without further warning and expose passengers to the risk of falling from the coach while the vehicle is in motion.
Remedy: Dealers will install an audible alarm in the driver's area to provide an additional alert in the event the door is not fully closed and latched, and will reinforce the upper latch to improve its durability. The recall began on September 4, 2009. Owners may contact mci customer service line at 1-800-241-2947.

Suspension › Rear › Axle › Non-powered axle assembly

Summary: Mci is recalling 542 my 2000-2004 G4100 and G4500 motor coaches. Certain reworked tag axle arm assemblies had been identified with new cracks forming.

Remedy: Dealers will re-inspect and if cracks are identified or incorrect welds in the previously repaired areas, both right and left tag arm assemblies will be replaced. If no problems are identified, dealers will reinstall the existing tag axle arm assemblies with new hardware free of charge.
