⚠️ What's wrong
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2016 MCI J4500 motor coaches manufactured August 26, 2015, to December 3, 2015, and equipped with Kiel passenger seats. During assembly, one of the seat mounting bolts was installed incorrectly.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the seat may detach from its floor mounting, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

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.)
