Problem: On certain motor coaches and motor homes, the steering columns may be missing the lower bolt and nut.

If a replacement bolt has been used and not tightened properly, the column may come out of the input shaft when the steering column adjustment mechanism is used.
Risk: In such a case, a loss of steering would occur.
Fix: Dealers will verify the size of the bolt and nut and replace them if needed. Owner notification began april 4, 2003. 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.

Fix: Prevost will notify owners to inspect their buses for certain equalizers by the date code. The affected equalizers will be replaced. Owner notification began november 29, 2000.
