NHTSA campaign 13V149000
Prevost Cars, Inc. recall 13V149000
Prevost is recalling one model year 2013 H3-45 coach bus manufactured November 14, 2011, through July 3, 2012. In the affected bus, the transmission has the wrong software and may not lock to prevent movement while the wheelchair lift door is open. Thus, this bus fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 403, "Platform Lift Systems for Motor Vehicles."
What can happen
Without the transmission locking to prevent movement, if the parking brake lock fails while the wheelchair lift door is open, the bus may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of injury.
Repair
Prevost has notified the owner, and the transmission is being reprogrammed, free of charge. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888 x 6558. Prevost's campaign recall number is SR13-25.
