Wheelchair Lift Bridge May Be Too Steep, Risking Injury
Certain Prevost buses equipped with a wheelchair lift may have a wheelchair platform bridging device that is too steep.
Red Warning Lights May Be Too Dim for Wheelchair Lift Users

Steering Can Fail on Prevost Buses From Cracked Linkage
The draglink tube turnbuckle on certain Prevost buses may fracture, which can cause a complete loss of steering.

Certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers installed in these buses may become clogged, so the extinguisher may not discharge as expected or may require excessive force to activate.

Fire Detector Wiring May Shut Off Engine, Raising Crash Risk
On certain Prevost coaches, the wiring for the Automatic Fire Suppression System's Linear Thermal Detector can be damaged by heat in the engine compartment.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire
Some motorcoaches built between July 2013 and November 2014 have Kidde plastic-valve handheld fire extinguishers that may not fully discharge when the lever is pressed.
