2023 Mci J4500e - Lights And Instruments

Recall Summary MCI is recalling 165 buses from model years 2023-2026 (J4500 series) because a software issue prevents tail lamps from turning on when daytime running lamps are active, making the buses non-compliant with Canadian regulations. This could reduce vehicle visibility in low-light conditions and increase crash risk. MCI will contact owners by mail with instructions for a software update that can be completed at an authorized service center.
