Recall number 08V126000 · Recall details

EquipmentReported April 27, 2007 · 450 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain motor coaches equipped with zf/arens as tronic shift selectors, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from "r" (reverse) to "d" (drive) should the phone receive a call.
Risk: This interference can cause improper shifting of the transmission, as forward gear can be engaged from neutral only, if the vehicle has been stopped, and if the brake pedal has been depressed.
