Mci D4505: Powertrain

Affects Mci D4505 · 2007 — about 0 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain coaches may experience interference between the driveshaft mounting hardware and tag axle structure. If contact is hard enough and prolonged, it could shear the heads off some or all of the bearing cap bolts, freeing the bearings and possibly releasing the driveshaft. This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle and any nearby objects. Correction: Dealers will install air spring mounting brackets designed to limit suspension travel and allow sufficient clearance. Note: Further evaluation revealed that only U.S. vehicles are affected.
