2015 MCI D4500 & 2015 MCI D4505 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2015 D4500 motor coaches manufactured January 23, 2015, to May 1, 2015, and D4505 motor coaches manufactured May 12, 2015, to May 13, 2015. The affected coaches have drive axles that may be missing welds on the hanger brackets, allowing the hanger bracket to separate from the axle housing.
💥 The risk
If the bracket separates from the axle housing, vehicle control may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
MCI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the coaches and replace the affected axles, free of charge. The recall began on January 4, 2016. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947. MCI's number for this recall is SB 429.
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.)
