  • 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.

  • Engine#2019380

    160 units affected

    Issue: Under certain high-altitude and heavy load conditions, the engine could overheat. This could cause the engine to lose power or fail. Safety Risk: A loss of engine power or an engine failure could increase the risk of a crash. If the bus is disabled, the transfer of passengers to another bus in an uncontrolled environment could also create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Prevost will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Prevost or Volvo service center to update the engine software.

  • Accessories#2019084

    154 units affected

    Issue: On vehicles equipped with a fire suppression system that includes a Kidde KDS-25 fire extinguisher, there may be a problem with the electric actuator on the fire extinguisher. This could cause the fire extinguisher not to discharge when it is activated. Safety Risk: In a fire, an extinguisher that does not work could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed contact Prevost, who will inspect extinguishers and repair as necessary.

  • 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.

  • Lights And Instruments#2017239

    3 units affected

    Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The vehicles may have not been equipped with a driver's side front amber reflex reflector, contrary to requirements of the standard. This could decrease vehicle conspicuity and potentially increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Vehicles will be fitted with the missing reflector.

  • Steering#2017087

    73 units affected

    On certain buses, the steering arm lever could fail prematurely which could result in the sudden loss of steering which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the steering arm lever.
