2001 Prevost Xlii recalls
Recall 02V-004: Vehicle Speed Control
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.
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.
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.
Recall 01V-033: Electrical System
Problem: Vehicle description: transit buses equipped with vanner 60 series battery equalizers. The equalizer could fail to operate properly and cause malfunction of the battery charging system.
Risk: Without fusing, the equalizer may melt, burn, or smoke, possibly resulting in a fire or a smoke filled bus, thus necessitating a passenger evacuation of the bus. The failure mode can cause operator distraction, and/or possible personal injury.
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.
