Mci G4500: Suspension
Affects Mci G4500 · 2000–2004 — about 65 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain coaches, previously repaired under recall 2003251, may suffer tag axle swing arm failure. Inadequate welding process may have introduced microfractures and/or welds with insufficient penetration. As a result, tag axle swing arm cracks can spread and result in a partial or total separation of the tag axle assembly, causing a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the tag axle swing arm with an updated version. Note: This action supersedes recall 2006353.
