Defect
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2011-2012 MCI D4000, D4005, D4500 and D4505 coaches equipped with Cummins ISX 12 liter engines. The vehicles may have an incorrectly installed exhaust bellow pipe, resulting in a bend in the pipe which can cause its premature failure.
Risk
If the pipe fails and a diesel regeneration cycle occurs, the hot exhaust gases will increase the risk of a fire.
