Prevost recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Prevost Cars Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 X3-45 Coaches equipped with Sure Power-brand DC to DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
What could happen
Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the converters, free of charge. The recall began on April 15, 2014. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's number for this recall is SR14-12.
