Recall 02V-045: 2000–2002 Prevost MTH XL2
PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED recall for unknown or other, reported to NHTSA on Feb 8, 2002, covering about 180 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor homes equipped with slide-out rooms, the microprocessor that controls the slide-out operation generates a false situation which tells the slide-out mechanism to operate. When this happens, a section of the motor home extends out by up to 30 inches.
The risk
This can occur while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will add an external protection controlled by a manual command. In addition, an instruction describing how to deactivate the slide-out motor will be included in the notice to customers. This will eliminate the risk before the remedy is performed. Owner notification began february 15, 2002. 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.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
