2020 MCI D45 CRT LE

56 vehicles affected

20V578000

SEAT BELTS

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2019 D45CRT-LE coaches. The seat belt retractors installed in the last row of the passenger seats may not function properly, preventing them from being used. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Risk: The inability to use the seat belts could increase the risk of injury in the event of a collision.

2020 MCI D45 CRT LE

1067 vehicles affected

20V352000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2018-2020 D4000, D4005, D4500, D4505 and D45CRTLE buses manufactured with electric cooling fans (E-fan) for the radiator and charge air cooler, Borg Warner 55SI model dual alternator configuration (with a sense stud and wire), and Parker Vansco Multiplexing Module (VMM) Multiplex system. A build-up of debris, corrosion, and/or water flow could cause a high resistance path to ground for the sense stud on the back of the alternator and cause the alternator to produce excessive voltage output, which may exceed the threshold limit currently programmed in the VMM and result in a loss of engine power and vehicle shutdown.

Risk: If the engine shuts down or loses power while the vehicle is in motion, this may increase the risk of a crash.
