2025 MCI D4520 recalls
Recall 26V-645: Electrical System, Exterior Lighting
Problem: Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2018-2026 buses. Please see the complete list of models above. The instrument panel indicator light may not illuminate when the hazard warning lights are on and the master run switch is in the 'Off' position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: Without the illuminated reminder, the driver may fail to turn off the exterior lights when no longer needed. Hazard warning lights that remain activated unintentionally can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: MCI will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 24, 2026. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947.

Risk: Incorrectly located labels may prevent or delay the use of the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: MCI will install or mail labels as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 6, 2025. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
