Summary:
Motor Coach Industries "MCI" is recalling certain model year 2000-2012 D, E, G and J series coaches manufactured January 2000 through June 2011 and equipped with Sure Power battery equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat. |
||
|
Consequence:
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire. |
||
|
Remedy:
MCI will notify owners, and Sure Power will replace the equalizers, free of charge. Owners may contact MCI at 1-847-285-2000. This campaign is MCI service bulletin 401. |
