• Recall 147014 [USA]: If the engine shuts down or loses power while the vehicle is in motion, this may increase the risk of a crash.
  Motor coach industries (mci) is recalling certain 2018-2020 d4000, d4005, d4500, d4505 and d45crtle buses manufactured with electric cooling fans (e-fan) for the radiator and charge air cooler, borg warner 55si model dual alternator configuration (with a sense stud and wire), and parker vansco multiplexing module (vmm) multiplex system.
