MCI Motor Coaches Recalled for Interior Lighting Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 D4000 and D4500, and 2010 D4505 motor coaches. The recall affects vehicles equipped with LED interior lights powered by either a Vansco or IO multiplex system.

The defect involves excessive power draw from the LED lights, which may cause heat to build up at the fuse block and connector. This heat can cause the components to melt, potentially damaging surrounding material and causing it to burn, which increases the risk of a fire.

MCI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuse holders free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-847-285-2090. MCI's number for this recall is 388B. This recall supersedes recall 12V-250, and motorcoaches remedied under the previous campaign must also be remedied under this one. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
