2000–2004 MCI G4500 recall: suspension

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain G4500 motor coaches, the tag axle swing arm CAN break away.

💥 The risk

If the tag axle swing arm cracks and remains undetected, the cracks CAN spread and potentially result in a partial or total separation of the tag axle assembly from the coach, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Please note that this campaign has been superseded by 08V121.

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.)
