2006 MCI E4500C recalls
Recall 13V-498: Electrical System
Problem: Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2000-2012 D, E, G and J series coaches manufactured January 2000 through June 2011 and equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
Fix: MCI will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers, free of charge. Owners may contact MCI at 1-847-285-2000. This campaign is MCI service bulletin 401.
Recall 10V-373: Visibility
Problem: Mci is recalling certain model year 2001-2004 e4500, model year 2002-2006 e4500c, model year 2001-2005 j4500, and model year 2006 j4500c motor coaches equipped with se-gi passenger windows. The adhesive bond between the window glass and the aluminum window frame on the affected coaches may degrade.
Risk: If the window glass becomes partially or completely debonded from its frame, the window glass may detach and fall from the coach and cause personal injury or property damage.
Fix: Dealers will inspect, test, and repair, as necessary, the se-gi window assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on august 23, 2010. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
