2006–2007 Prevost H3-41 & 2006–2007 Prevost H3-45 + 5 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
💥 The risk
This could cause delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Prevost is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07E037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected SR-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on september 14, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 1-440-329-9000 or prevost at 1-418-831-2046.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
