What NHTSA recorded

Mci is recalling 1,893 my 2002-2008 d model and my 2001-2008 e and j4500 motor coaches equipped with zf transmissions. There is a potential for the shift selector to malfunction as a result of a cell phone or radio being placed in close proximity to the shifter control pad.

Possible consequence

When this happens, the shift selector may move into reverse without driver knowledge increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Mci is working with zf and has created a software update that protects against the potential for transient analog or digital signal interference. The recall is expected to begin during november 2008. .owners may contact mci at 1-800-333-0371 and zf at 1-734-416-6200.
