• Recall 68893 [USA]: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
  Prevost has notified nhtsa of a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 motor coaches fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
  prevost coach is working with ricon and prevost will be handling the remedy for this campaign through safety recall (sr10-19).

• Recall 2015088 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  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.

• Recall 2013328 [Canada]: Label
  On certain vehicles, the vehicle certification label contains incorrect front and rear tire pressure rating. The correct tire pressure rating is 120 psi. Incorrect tire pressure information may lead to overinflation of tires and could affect vehicle stability, braking and traction, potentially resulting in a loss of control or increased braking distances. This could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace affected labels.

• Recall 2013139 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, the drag link adjustment collar bolt could contact the pitman arm. As such, the drag link turnbuckle could fracture and fail.

• Recall 2013059 [Canada]: Other
  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.

• Recall 2012203 [Canada]: Other

As a result, the system may inadvertently activate causing, amongst other things, the engine to stop. Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, 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 inspect and, if necessary, replace the linear thermal detector.

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.

• Recall 2008006 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  On certain coaches equipped with zf-astronic transmissions, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from r (reverse) to 2 (second gear) should the phone receive a call. Regardless what the indicator displays, the transmission can only physically engage a forward gear if the vehicle is stopped and the brake pedal is depressed. However, should this occur, and the driver fails to realize the wrong gear is selected (drive instead of reverse), a vehicle crash could occur, potentially causing physical injury or death to occupants and/or bystanders. Correction: dealers will install upgraded transmission software.
