The short version

Motor Coach Industries reported a problem with the exterior lighting tail lights. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The left rear taillight harness branch of the engine compartment wiring may contact the engine coolant tank causing a loss of power to the left taillight. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the left taillight does not work, the coach would have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

MCI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left taillight wiring harness, re-routing and repairing it as necessary, free of charge.
