ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
An overheated alternator bearing can increase the risk of a fire.
6 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.
An overheated alternator bearing can increase the risk of a fire.
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.
If the fasteners loosen, the trailer hitch may deform or detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not work correctly, there is an increased risk of injury to the bus occupants.
If the power cable loses connection to the engine electronic control unit, the engine may shut down, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2014 PREVOST H3-45 VIPs 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.
