What NHTSA recorded

Mci is recalling certain model year 1999-2001, 2007-2011 e4500 and model year 2001-2011 j4500 coaches equipped with doga windshield motors. The windshield wiper motor may fail to operate properly while the wiper system is functioning. If this occurs, the windshield wipers may operate intermittently, operate at a single speed only, or completely stop operating.

Possible consequence

If the windshield wipers stop functioning, the driver's clear field of view may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will furnish the parts and labor required to implement the doga-recommended remedies on the affected coaches. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during july 2010. Owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
