2006–2007 MCI D4005 & 2006–2007 MCI D4505 recall: windows, wipers & mirrors

⚠️ What's wrong

MCI is recalling 185 my 2006-2007 D4005 and D4505 motor coaches equipped with dura side body egress windows. These coaches fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, 'bus emergency exits and window retention and release.' the windows were produced with inconsistent priming on the primary and secondary bond lines.

💥 The risk

The purpose of this standard is to minimize the likelihood of occupants being thrown from the bus and to provide a means of readily accessible emergency egress.

🔧 The fix

MCI will notify owners instructing them to inspect the windows for signs of water leak, wind noise, or visible partial de-bonding. Windows showing these signs will be replaced free of charge by dura (please see 07E042). The recall began on august 27, 2007. Owners CAN contact dura at 1-248-844-1615 or 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.)
