Recall 02V-004: 2001–2002 Prevost H3-41, 2001–2002 Prevost H3-45 and 1 more
PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jan 11, 2002, covering about 196 vehicles.
The problem
On certain coaches and bus shells equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
The risk
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began december 20, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.
