What this recall means for you
Power cables in the battery compartment may have been improperly installed and routed, so they can rub against nearby parts over time. This chafing can wear through the cable insulation.
Worn cables increase the risk of a fire. Owners should watch for any sign of a problem and not ignore it.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer. The dealer will inspect the battery compartment and, if needed, correct the clearance for the power cables. Owners will also be notified by Motor Coach Industries, or you can contact MCI customer service at 1-800-241-2947 (recall R21-003). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
