In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
8 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
If the fuel tank separates from the vehicle, it could be a road hazard and the vehicle would stall. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
Contact between the fuel line and the coolant line may cause a fuel leak and result in fuel spraying onto hot exhaust components increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.
The damaged wires may activate the AFSS and shutdown the engine, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fuel line rubbing may result in abrasion and a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Without functioning windshield wipers, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2012 PREVOST H3-41s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
