CONSEQUENCE:

In the event of a crash, the seat may detach from its floor mounting, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.

Component: STEERING
Potential Number of Units Affected: 350

Summary: MCI IS RECALLING 350 MODEL YEAR 2008 AND 2009 MOTOR COACHES, MODEL J4500, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN OCTOBER 2007 AND APRIL 2009 AND 2009 MOTOR COACHES, MODELS D4000ISTV, D4500, AND D4505, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY AND APRIL 2009.

Consequence: WITH A BROKEN SAS DRIVING TAB, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: MCI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND THE VEHICLES WILL BE REPAIRED.
