- Defect:
- Mci is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 motor coaches, model j4500 manufactured between october 2007 and april 2009; 2009 motor coaches models d4000istv, d4005, d4500, and d4505 manufactured between january and july 2009; 2010 d4500 coaches manufactured between december 2008 and april 2009; 2009 e4500 coaches manufactured between january and april 2009; and one 2003 e4500 coach manufactured in october 2002. these vehicles may have been equipped with meritor wabco steering angle sensors (sas) which can develop internal friction between the sensor gears and the sensor housing as a result of external forces experienced on the vehicle including vibration. if developed friction is great enough, the driving tab of the sas can sheer as the driver turns the steering wheel.
- Consequence:
- With a broken sas driving tab, the electronic stability control (esc) will not function properly, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Mci will notify owners and the vehicles will be repaired free of charge. the safety recall began on july 10, 2009. owners may contact mci at 1-800-241-2947.

- 1,962
- Defect:
- Motor coach industries (mci) is recalling certain model year 2003, and 2007-2012 e and j models along with model year 2007-2012 d4000, d4005, d4500, d4505, d4000istv motor coaches equipped with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) modules, manufactured from october 2002, through october 2011. under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. this might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
- 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.
