Complaints by model year
Newer model years have had less time on the road, so they naturally have fewer complaints. Compare a year against its neighbors rather than against brand-new models.

MCI D4500 recalls
Risk: The incorrect window glazing material may reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Risk: MDP circuit board failure can result in a fire or an unexpected vehicle shutdown, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the engine shuts down or loses power while the vehicle is in motion, this may increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Inability to use the seat belt may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Risk: If the tag axle becomes misaligned with the front of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle may strike other vehicles or pedestrians, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Risk: If the pipe develops a hole, during a regeneration cycle, hot exhaust gases may leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the pipe fails and a diesel regeneration cycle occurs, the hot exhaust gases will increase the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the seatbelt anchorage assembly separates from the J-Bracket, the bus driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash increasing their risk of injury.
Risk: If the bracket separates from the axle housing, vehicle control may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The incorrectly assembled fuse block may not protect the circuit and the connections may arc, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: Cracks in the hub may result in hub failure, which could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, it can increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Risk: If the tie rod nuts are not properly torqued, the tie rod may not be adequately secured, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If this occurs, the surrounding material may be damaged and will burn, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the headlights turn off while the vehicle is in operation, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
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.
Risk: If this occurs, surrounding material may be damaged and will burn, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: The entrance door will close without warning, increasing the risk of personal injury to people entering or exiting the bus.
Risk: If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The cover will eventually fail as a result of fatigue, and the cover may become detached from the coach and fall and strike a person or object, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Risk: This could result in a loss of the wheel possibly resulting in a crash.
