SUBJECT: SAFETY RECALL:  REAR WINDOW SEPARATION
Ref.: NHTSA # 18V-225
Transport Canada # 2019-049 (formerly 2018-171) MCI Service Bulletin 463B

 

Attention Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Motor Coach Industries, Inc. has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on certain model year 2017, 2018, and 2019 MCI J4500 coaches.  MCI has determined that the potential exists for the rear, left hand side window to separate from the coach and fall.  The window is mounted using adhesive and a secondary retention system using fasteners that are glued to the window.  If the adhesive is not applied correctly, and the secondary fasteners are over torqued or not glued properly to the window glazing, the window may become separated from the vehicle.  Separation of the rear side window from the vehicle, particularly while the vehicle is being driven, increases the risk of a crash or injury.

MCI is conducting a recall to repair the affected vehicles.  The recall work will be provided at no cost to you, and is estimated to take .75 hour to inspect each vehicle to determine whether repairs are required, and one to six hours to complete the necessary repairs, depending on the condition of each vehicle’s window.  Please see the enclosed MCI Service Bulletin 463B for further information.

MCI records indicate that you are the owner or operator of the following vehicle(s) included in this recall:
