Defect description

Prevost is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Volvo Bus 9700 coaches manufactured from April 2009 through June 2012. The wheelchair lift may be missing maintenance safety pins and/or the wheelchair lift cylinders may not be the proper length, preventing the proper use of maintenance safety pins.

Manufacturer remedy

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will add the safety pins and/or verify that they work properly, as needed, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 8, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888.
