Motor Coach Industries: Engine and Engine Cooling › Engine
Motor Coach Industries reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 28, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 96. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Motor Coach Industries, Inc. (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 D4000 motorcoaches manufactured March 2011 through July 2012 and equipped with certain Cummins Westport model ISL G. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.
The risk
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
The remedy
MCI will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recallbegan on April 16, 2014. Customers may contact MCI at 1-847-285-2090 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357. MCI's number associated with this campaign is 405.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V085000.
