The problem

The coolant line on the affected vehicles may be missing a positioning clip, allowing the coolant line to rub against the braided fuel hose at one of the injectors.
The risk

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel line for abrasion, replacing it as necessary. The fuel and coolant lines will be properly secured. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-418-883-3391. Prevost's number for this recall is SR16-18.
