09- Heater And Defroster#2024179
68 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, a problem could cause the coolant heater to overheat and generate excessive exhaust gas. Safety Risk: A coolant heater that overheats can create the risk of a fire. Excessive exhaust gas could increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, a fire could result in passengers being evacuated in an uncontrolled environment, which may create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a Prevost service center to inspect the coolant heater, adjust it and replace any damaged components, if necessary. Prevost recommends that you should not use the heater until the recall repairs are completed.
- Steering#2024151
2 units affected
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, the steering column may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the steering shaft could separate from the universal joint and cause a loss of steering. Safety Risk: A loss of steering could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Prevost advises that you should not drive your vehicle until the recall repairs are completed. Prevost will notify owners by mail and provide instructions for how to replace the steering column joint.
- Lights And Instruments#2023698
55 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tail lamps don't turn on when the daytime running lamps (DRLs) are on. Canadian regulations require that, if a vehicle has dash backlighting, the low beam headlamps and tail lamps must automatically switch on when it's dark or the tail lamps must stay on at all times. Safety Risk: Driving without tail lamps in low light conditions could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a Prevost service center to update the vehicle software.
- Brakes#2023641
19 units affected
Issue: On certain buses equipped with the optional driver assist system, the front radar sensor may be blocked by the front bumper trim panel. As a result, the system may not detect when there is an obstacle in front of the bus and would not automatically apply the brakes. The system may also activate automatically and apply the brakes without an obstacle. Safety Risk: Vehicle safety systems that do not work correctly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your bus to a Prevost service center to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front bumper trim panel.
- Lights And Instruments#2023378
60 units affected
Issue: On certain buses, the right-front turn signal lamp could fail when the turn signal or hazard warning lights are turned on. Safety Risk: A turn signal that doesn't work may cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes. A hazard lamp that doesn't work could make the vehicle less visible. Both could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and provide you with directions for completing the recall repairs. The repair will include installing improved headlight wiring.
- Lights And Instruments#2023379
31 units affected
Issue: Certain buses were built with daytime running lamps (DRLs) that don't turn off when the fog lights are switched on. Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the front fog lamps are switched on. Safety Risk: Daytime running lamps that stay on in foggy conditions could cause glare and reduced visibility. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your bus to a Prevost service center to update the daytime running lamp software.
- Lights And Instruments#2023154
5 units affected
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, when the hazard lights are switched on with the ignition switch in the "OFF" position, the signal lamps may not flash at the same time. Safety Risk: Hazard lights that don't flash properly could create confusion for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and supply a software update free of charge.
- Structure#2023152
4 units affected
Issue: On a small number of buses, the emergency exit window latches may be difficult to open. Safety Risk: An emergency exit window that doesn't open easily could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and provide instructions for how to inspect and adjust the emergency exit windows.
- Accessories#2023097
81 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the fire sensor located in the engine compartment could fail. If this happens, the automatic fire suppression system (AFSS) could activate and shut down the engine. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Prevost service center to inspect, and if necessary replace the fire sensor. They will also install spacers between the sensor and mounting bracket.
