Prevost recall: Parking brake
What is wrong
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain MGM Type 24-J series piston parking brake chambers sold as service replacement parts. The affected brake chambers may leak air pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
What could happen
Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
The fix
Prevost will notify owners and dealers will inspect, and replace the brake chambers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888 x 6558. Prevost's campaign recall number is SR13-31.
