Prevost recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 XLII and X3 shell converted coaches manufactured with an Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) pressure tank in the engine compartment. In the affected vehicles, due to engine compartment temperatures, the AFSS pressure relief tank may discharge its fire extinguishing agent.
What could happen
If the AFSS tank discharges and there is a vehicle fire, the Automatic Fire Suppression System will be unavailable to assist in extinguishing the vehicle fire, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the pressure relief tank, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2014. Owners may contract Prevost at 1-877-773-8678. Prevost's number associated with this recall is SR14-16.
