Campaign:
08V007000 on 01/08/2008
Component:
Equipment
Affected:
392
Defect:
On certain motor coaches equipped with zf/arens astronic shift selectors, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from 'r' (reverse) to 'd' (drive) should the phone receive a call.
Consequence:
This interference can cause the transmission to not operate or cause improper shifting, as forward gear can be engaged from neutral only, if the vehicle has been stopped, and if the brake pedal has been depressed. if the malfunction occurs while 'r' (reverse) is being selected, the shifter may possibly change to 'd' (drive), increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Prevost will mail stickers and installation instructions to their owners and will also arrange to have the transmission software upgraded. the recall began on february 13, 2008. owners may contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.

Campaign:
10V117000 on 03/23/2010
Component:
Equipment adaptive
Affected:
280
Defect:
Prevost has notified nhtsa of a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 motor coaches fitted with ricon public use lifts. the restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. in this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. if the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
Consequence:
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Correction:
Prevost coach is working with ricon and prevost will be handling the remedy for this campaign through safety recall (sr10-19). prevost will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. the recall began on june 14, 2010. owners may contact prevost technical publications at 1-418-831-5432 x 235 or by email at dominique.gagnon@volvo.com.
