- Summary
- 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.
- Consequence
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.

Vehicles covered
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.
