STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

Issued by Motor Coach Industries · Reported Jan 7, 2019 · 2,089 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2001-2015 J4500 and 1997-2013 102EL3/E4500 coaches equipped with a hydraulic rear axle (tag axle) steering system. The axle's alignment and low hydraulic pressure in the steering system may cause the steering system to lock, causing a loss of steering control at highway speeds.

Consequence

Loss of steering control may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

MCI will inspect and repair axle alignment, as necessary, free of charge. MCI issued owners an interim notification on March 26, 2019. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 14, 2021. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947. MCI's number for this recall is SB 469.
