Transport Canada recalls

13
  • 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.

  • Steering#2018737

    530 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the steering drag link turnbuckle may crack and fracture over time. If this were to occur, it could result in a complete loss of steering control, which would create a risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering drag link.

  • Accessories#2017570

    612 units affected

    On certain buses equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.

  • Accessories#2015240

    62 units affected

    On certain buses outfitted with Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) Linear Thermal Detectors (LTD), the routing of the wiring for these systems could be compromised by normal engine compartment temperatures. If this were to occur, it could result in the AFSS system activating and giving a false warning to the driver, potentially resulting in a stopped vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and reroute the wiring.

  • Electrical#2015239

    302 units affected

    On certain buses, the booster stud connection could become rusted, which could lead to a weakened connection. A compromised connection could allow the power cable to release and consequently ground on the frame, possibly resulting in an electrical short circuit. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect for corrosion and a protective box will be added. Any corroded cables found will be replaced.

  • 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.

  • Brakes#2014544

    6 units affected

    On certain vehicles equipped with an automatic fire suppression system (AFSS), the cylinder pressure release valve may not withstand engine compartment temperatures, which could result in a loss of the extinguishing agent. As a result, the fire suppression system would no longer be operational in the event of a fire, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will relocate the AFSS cylinder and ensure the cylinder is charged.

  • Seats And Restraints#2014149

    32 units affected

    On certain coaches, passenger seat bases may rub against the seat belts as seat bases are flipped up. Over time, this could damage the seat belts, potentially resulting in belt failure during a crash. This could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect all seatbelts and replace as necessary. The seat belt attachment point on the seat will be changed to remove the risk of damage.

  • Electrical#2014056

    34 units affected

    On certain coaches equipped with Sure Power DC/DC convertors, the convertors could develop an internal short circuit, resulting in a risk of overheating, smoke and/or fire. This may result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Owners will be supplied with replacement parts and instructions on how to affect repairs.

  • Other#2013059

    465 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the engine calibration for the “limp home” mode was inadvertently set too high at 1750 rpm instead of 1200 rpm. Should the “limp home” mode be activated, the increased idle speed may cause sudden and unexpected acceleration, which could result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle if the transmission is not shifted into neutral. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install updated engine calibration software.

  • Other#2013014

    82 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the thermal detector could become damaged, causing inadvertent activation of the Automatic Fire Detection and Suppression System (AFSS), which would result in engine shut down. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will insulate the AFSS thermal detector.

  • Other#2012191

    400 units affected

    On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal throttle position sensor could fail. A faulty throttle position sensor will send a permanent idle signal to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). As such, depressing the accelerator pedal will provide no throttle response whatsoever. Loss of vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal throttle position sensor.

  • Other#2010087

    26 units affected

    On certain vehicles equipped with a Ricon F9 series cassette wheelchair lift, an improperly manufactured switch in the wheelchair lift restraint buckle may allow operation of the lift with the safety belt not fully latched. If the belt is not properly fastened, a wheelchair may not be adequately protected against unwanted movement, resulting a fall risk, potentially causing serious injury or death. Correction: The manufacturer will provide instructional information and warning decals.
