2004–2006 MCI J4500 recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches equipped with I-shafts supplied by zf heavy duty steering, there is a potential for a failure of the fork/shaft connection.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, the vehicle could suffer a loss of steering ability, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
MCI, with the assistance of zf, intends to establish a program for remedying the defective I-shafts. Owners may contact MCI at 1-204-284-5360.
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.)
