Suspension: rear: shock absorber

What is wrong: Mci is recalling 29 model year 2009 d4505 motor coaches manufactured between february and april 2009, equipped with koni shock absorbers. When the coach is moving in rear-rise mode, the tag suspension air springs can generate force that exceeds the maximum allowable tensile strength of the shock absorbers exceeding their design rebound limit.
Risk: This failure could result in separation of the shock absorber from its mounting, causing interference between the upper portion of the suspension and the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Mci will notify owners and will repair the coaches free of charge. The safety recall began on july 10, 2009. Owners may contact mci at 1‑847‑285‑2000.
