ON CERTAIN D SERIES MOTOR COACHES, THERE COULD BE A POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE DRIVE SHAFT MOUNTING HARDWARE AND THE TAG AXLE STRUCTURE.
THE BEARING CAP BOLTS COULD SHEAR, FREEING THE BEARINGS, AND POSSIBLY RELEASING THE DRIVE SHAFT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
SHIMS WILL BE INSTALLED ABOVE THE TAG AXLE AIR SPRING MOUNTING BRACKETS TO LIMIT THE SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MCI AT 1-800-241-2947.
