Transport Canada recalls
13- Structure#2026073
6 units affected
Issue: On a small number of buses, the driver's side mirror may not be properly attached. As a result, the mirror could fall from the bus. Safety Risk: A mirror that falls from the bus could create a road hazard for others. A missing mirror will reduce rear visibility. Both issues 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 side mirror.
- 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.
- Electrical#2024143
19 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the battery cables could become damaged by contact with a metal panel. If this happens, the cables could short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire. 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 and, if necessary, reinstall the grommet for the battery cables.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Engine#2022191
1,219 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, if the front bearing on the alternator fails, the alternator belts could continue to turn the alternator. This could cause the alternator bearing to overheat. Safety Risk: An overheated alternator bearing could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Prevost service center to replace the alternator belts. To reduce the safety risk, Prevost recommends that you should inspect the front bearing on the alternator regularly, and not operate the engine with a defective alternator.
- Fuel System#2015088
164 units affected
On certain buses, a fuel line retaining clip may be missing, which can result in the fuel line rubbing against a braided coolant hose. If there was contact, the fuel line may be compromised over time, which can result in spraying fuel onto hot exhaust components potentially resulting in an engine fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel line, as necessary, and ensure that the fuel and coolant lines are properly secured.
- Accessories#2015087
66 units affected
On certain buses, the handheld Kidde plastic valve disposable fire extinguisher may not function as designed. In certain instances, the extinguisher may fail to fully discharge when the lever is pressed multiple times. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will provide a replacement extinguisher.
- Electrical#2013466
235 units affected
On certain vehicles, the windshield wipers may fail. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the wiper motor.
- Fuel System#2011089
48 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fuel support assembly may have been incorrectly welded during the manufacturing process. Should certain welds fail, portions of the support structure could contact the ground or separate from the vehicle. Sections of the fuel tank support separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reinforce the fuel support assembly.
