DESCRIPTION This Service Center Information publication describes the procedure related to bulletin WB16-33. On the vehicles affected by this bulletin, replace the engine information decal located in the engine compartment. Specifically, the decal located on the engine valve cover is correct, but the copy of the decal located on the vertical panel has wrong engine family information. You have to remove the copy and replace it with the replacement decal. CORRECTIVE MEASURES To ensure conformity with EPA regulations, the decal must be replaced by a certified Prevost technician. Have in hand the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the warranty bulletin number WB16-33. Since decals are vehicle specific, allow a few days for the order to reach your local Service Center.SCI16-40 Page 2 / 6 MATERIAL Order the following parts: Part No. WB16-33 Description DECAL, ENGINE CERTIFICATION Qty 2* *Only one decal needed per vehicle, additional copy is provided as back-up. NOTE Material can be ordered by Prevost personnel only on https://prevost.vg-emedia.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=13238 See APPENDIX A for details. PROCEDURE DANGER Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition switch to the OFF position and trip the main circuit breakers equipped with a trip button. On the Commuter type vehicles, set the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position. Wear all required personal protection equipment (PPE). Step A (Engine family number matching) 1. On the top of the engine valve cover (fig 1), check engine family number first character on the engine information decal and write down the letter. Do not remove any parts. Because it is not possible to see the decal directly, we suggest using a small camera just over the decal and using the picture to get the information you need. FIG 1 For instance, figure 2 shows the letter G as the first character. Remember the engine information decal located on the valve cover has the correct engine family number so the first character is the reference for the next operations. FIG 2 SCI16-40 Page 3 / 6 2. On the duplicate engine decal located on the vertical metal panel (fig 3), check the engine family number first character. 3. Compare the engine family number first character on the valve cover decal with engine family number first character on the vertical panel. 4. You must have the same letter. FIG 3 5. If characters match: If the engine family number first character on the valve cover is same than the engine family number first character on the vertical panel, BULLETIN IS COMPLETED. 6. If characters don’t match: If the engine family number first character on the valve cover is different than the engine family number first character on the vertical panel, you need to proceed to Step B. Step B (Replacement of vertical panel engine information decal) 7. Open the replacement kit WB16-33 and check the engine family number on the two replacement decals. It must be the same number. 8. Compare engine family number first character between the engine valve cover decal and the replacement decals. The characters must match. 9. If characters don’t match: Stop processing the bulletin and contact your Prevost service manager representative. 10. If characters match: Keep processing the bulletin. 11. Be careful not to damage other decals located on the vertical panel, if applicable. SCI16-40 Page 4 / 6 12. Gently remove the engine information decal located on the vertical metal panel. Use a window scraper with a new blade to avoid making marks on the surface (Fig.4). FIG 4 13. After removing old decal, use soft cleaning product such as anti-silicone to clean the surface and wait until the surface is dry before applying the new decal. 14. Caution: The decals are fragile so remove the backing paper very gently to avoid any tearing. FIG 5 15. Gently apply the replacement decal at the same location than the old decal. 16. To be sure it is well bonded to the metal surface, rub the decal with a plastic scraper from the middle toward sides. If you see any air bubbles on the surface of the decal, use a small needle to bust it and rub again with the scraper. FIG 6 17. We supply two replacement decals. In case you miss the first try, remove the decal using the same method described in previous paragraphs and try again. 18. Destroy all unused decals. 19. BULLETIN IS COMPLETED.
