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.
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event 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.
Two 2015 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.
