What this recall means for you
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. Because the extinguisher may not work as designed, it may not put out a fire, which increases the risk of injury to passengers if a fire occurs.
The manufacturer will notify owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the fire extinguisher and replace it if necessary, at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Prevost customer service at 1-877-773-8678 (recall number SR15-03). Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
