⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches, the front lower radius rod mounting bracket components may not have been welded sufficiently.
💥 The risk
These welds may crack, allowing movement and potential separation of the radius rod mounting bracket, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Owners have been provided with repair instructions. The recall began on july 1, 2004. Owners should contact MCI at 1-800-241-2947.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
