2006–2007 MCI D4505 & 2005 MCI D4500 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain d series motor coaches, there could be a possible interference between the drive shaft mounting hardware and the tag axle structure.
💥 The risk
The bearing cap bolts could shear, freeing the bearings, and possibly releasing the drive shaft, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Shims will be installed above the tag axle air spring mounting brackets to limit the suspension travel. The recall is expected to begin during january 2007. Owners may 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.)
