Posted on: 2023-04-05
Description
Motor coach industries (mci) is recalling certain 2019-2021 d45crtle, j3500, and j4500 coaches, equipped with a rear-mounted bike rack. The vehicle's rear lighting may be obstructed when bikes are installed on the bike rack.

Obstructed rear lighting may reduce the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
