Summary: The brackets used to restrain the "reference-zero" arm of the drive axle slack adjusters may flex excessively, and prevent self adjustment of the slack adjusters. This could degrade brake efficiency as the brake shoes wear.
Consequence: Decreased brake efficiency could cause increased stoppingdistances, which could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy: A retrofit kit is to be installed to correct the problem with the attachment brackets.
Notes: System: brakes.vehicle description: buses fitted with haldex automatic slack adjusters.warning: all affected coaches must be inspected immediately and adjusted ifnecessary. Inspection and, if necessary, adjustment must be performed EVERY6000 miles until the retrofit kit is installed.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
