Transport Canada recalls
02- Engine#2018256
138 units affected
On certain motor coaches, the exhaust bellows pipe may fail prematurely and cause a leak. An exhaust leak during a regeneration event could allow the leakage of hot gases and could increase the risk of fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a new exhaust pipe assembly.
- Engine#2013121
18 units affected
On certain vehicles, the bellows pipe (a component of the exhaust system) may have been installed incorrectly and could fail. As a result, combustion from a Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration event could exit the failed bellows pipe instead of being completely contained within the exhaust system. If this occurs, the hot combustion gases could cause a fire which may result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Authorized MCI service facilities will inspect and, if necessary, replace the bellows pipe.

U.S. NHTSA recalls
02- ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE#18V309000
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain 2011-2016 D4500, D4505, D4000, D4005, and D4000 ISTV motor coaches equipped with ISX engines. Due to vibrations, the exhaust bellow pipes develop a hole.
Risk: If the pipe develops a hole, during a regeneration cycle, hot exhaust gases may leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: MCI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bellows pipe assembly with an improved part, free of charge. The recall began July 10, 2018. Owners may contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
- ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM#13V142000
Motor Coach Industries (MCI) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 D4000, D4000ISTV, D4005, D4500, and D4505 motorcoaches manufactured from May 2012 through December 2012 and equipped with a Cummins ISX EPA 2010 engine. In the affected buses, the bellows pipe in the exhaust system may have been incorrectly assembled, which could result in a failure of the pipe during operation.
Risk: During a regeneration process to clean exhaust emissions, if the bellows pipe has failed, the hot exhaust gases may not be contained, resulting in a fire.
Remedy: MCI will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the bellows pipes, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 29, 2013. Customers may contact MCI at 1-847-285-2000.
