What NHTSA recorded

Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2017 J4500 motorcoaches manufactured March 14, 2016, to August 23, 2016. The affected vehicles may experience a multiplexing programming error that will not provide any visual or audible warnings if the vehicle's primary service brake air reservoir system has low pressure.

Possible consequence

If the driver is unaware that the service brakes have low air pressure, the brakes may apply automatically, increasing the risk of a crash.
