Transport Canada recalls

Steering#2024151March 6, 2024
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#2023378July 12, 2023
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#2023379July 11, 2023
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#2023154March 20, 2023
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#2023097February 24, 2023
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.
