Transport Canada recalls
07- 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.

- Fuel System#2017476
1,114 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank cradle bolts could loosen and fail. If this occurs, the fuel cradle and fuel tank could drop to the ground, which could disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This could also potentially result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will repair and shim the attachment points, and the hardware will be replaced.
- Fuel System#2016108
551 units affected
On certain vehicles, due to a missing clip a coolant line could rub against a braided fuel hose at the AHI 7th injector. Over time, this could cause the fuel hose to become compromised, which could result in fuel spraying onto hot exhaust components increasing the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealer will inspect the fuel line for abrasion and replace it if necessary. The coolant line will be removed.
- 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.
- 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.
