- Summary
- Mci is recalling 29 model year 2009 D4505 motor coaches manufactured between February and April 2009, equipped with koni shock absorbers. When the coach is moving in rear-rise mode, the tag suspension air springs can generate force that exceeds the maximum allowable tensile strength of the shock absorbers exceeding their design rebound limit.
- Consequence
- This failure could result in separation of the shock absorber from its mounting, causing interference between the upper portion of the suspension and the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Mci will notify owners and will repair the coaches free of charge. The safety recall began on July 10, 2009. Owners may contact mci at 1-847-285-2000.
- Notes
- Mci's recall campaign no. Fcp 329.OWNERS may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.
