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.
An overheated alternator bearing could create the risk of a fire.
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.
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.
In a fire, an extinguisher that does not work could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed contact Prevost, who will inspect extinguishers and repair as necessary.
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. Note: For more information about recalled fire extinguishers, please visit www.kidde.com.

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.

On certain vehicles, the wiper arm mounts may develop cracks or fractures where they attach to the wiper motor linkage. This could result in the wiper arm partially separating from the linkage, resulting in a loss of wiper function. This could reduce driver visibility and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: The Prevost Service Department will inspect the mounts and replace as necessary.

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.
