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.
A failure of this component (accessories) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, the drag link adjustment collar bolt could contact the pitman arm. As such, the drag link turnbuckle could fracture and fail. A sudden loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drag link turnbuckle assembly.
A failure of this component (steering) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

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.
A failure of this component (other) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

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.

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.

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.

Certain aftermarket replacement steering drag link tie rod ends may have been manufactured incorrectly. In certain heavy loading conditions the tie rod end could break, which may result in a loss of steering control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Owners who had drag link tie rod ends replaced using these faulty components are asked to take their vehicle to a Prevost dealer for inspection and repair if required.
