Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Motor Coach Industries is recalling certain 2014-2017 J4500 motor coaches equipped with ZF front axles due to a potential defect in the front brake hose routing clamps. The clamps may have been over-tightened during manufacturing, which could damage the brake hose wall reinforcement and cause the brake hose to leak. If a leak occurs, the distance needed to stop the vehicle may increase, raising the risk of a crash.
MCI will notify owners of affected vehicles. Dealers will inspect the clamp tightness and replace any damaged brake hoses at no cost to the owner. Owners of affected motor coaches should contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947 to arrange an inspection, referencing recall number SB 454.
