The short version

Motor Coach Industries reported a problem with the mechanical carrier/rack. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

WHY IT MATTERS

Obstructed rear lighting may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

MCI will provide instructions and a kit to add lighting to the rear-mounted bike rack, free of charge.
