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 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.
A failure of this component (fuel system) 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 fuel support assembly may have been incorrectly welded during the manufacturing process. Should certain welds fail, portions of the support structure could contact the ground or separate from the vehicle. Sections of the fuel tank support separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reinforce the fuel support assembly.
