Prevost H3-45 Recall 19V118: Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire

NHTSA campaign 19V118, reported February 21, 2019, 1,270 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain Prevost coaches and motorhomes have a fire suppression system whose actuator may not work properly. If the actuator fails, the fire extinguisher cannot release its fire suppression agent, so the system will not put out a fire as designed. That raises the risk of injury if a fire occurs in the vehicle.

The fire suppression system manufacturer will inspect the affected systems and replace them as needed. Prevost Cars will notify owners, and the repair is free of charge. Owners can contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046 and refer to recall number SR19-03.

You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls using the NHTSA recall lookup tool or with an authorized Prevost dealer.
