- Defect:
- Certain dura side body egress windows, side body lavatory egress windows, and non-egress side body windows manufactured between november 1, 2005, and july 19, 2006, installed as original equipment on certain my 2006 and 2007 motor coach industries (mci) d coaches. the windows were produced with inconsistent priming on the primary and secondary bond lines which fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 217, bus emergency exits and window retention and release.
- Consequence:
- 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.
- Correction:
- Mci will notify owners instructing them to inspect the windows for signs of water leak, wind noise, or visable partial de-bonding. windows showing these signs will be replaced free of charge by dura. the recall is expected to begin during july 2007. owners can contact dura at 248-844-1615.

- Defect:
- Mci is recalling 1,893 my 2002-2008 d model and my 2001-2008 e and j4500 motor coaches equipped with zf transmissions. there is a potential for the shift selector to malfunction as a result of a cell phone or radio being placed in close proximity to the shifter control pad.

- Consequence:
- If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Mci will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. the safety recall began on january 4, 2012. owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
