- Summary
- On certain motor coaches that have multiplex systems, when the coach's defroster motor is activated, certain high speed cell net controllers (hcnc) may lock up.
- Consequence
- As a consequence of this lock up, the functions and systems that are part of the multiplex system will remain at their status immediately prior to the lockup. This could affect the electrical operation of brake lights, turn signals, ignition, instrumentation, etc.
- Remedy

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your MCI been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A MCI dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
