Plain-English summary

Motor Coach Industries, Inc. (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2012 D4505, D4500, and D4000ISTV motor coaches. The recall involves 46 vehicles equipped with a sedan style entrance door and an Actia multiplex system.

The defect causes the entrance door to close without warning thirty minutes after the park brake is set and the ignition is turned off. This unexpected movement increases the risk of personal injury to people entering or exiting the bus.

MCI will notify owners and remedy the affected coaches by reprogramming the multiplex system free of charge. The recall began on April 11, 2012. Owners may contact MCI at 1-800-241-2947 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
