What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRANSIT COACHESS, THE BOLTS SECURING THE RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS CAN LOOSEN AND COULD COMPLETELY DETACH.

The risk

A LOOSE ATTACHMENT SHOULD BE DETECTED AT REGULAR INSPECTIONS. THIS CONDITION WILL CREATE SOME UNUSUAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL DETERIORATE GRADUALLY. IF A ROD IS DETACHED COMPLETELY, IT WILL CREATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL BE REDUCED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REINSTALL RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS USING LOCTITE PRODUCT ON THE BOLTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 25, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PREVOST AT 1-418-831-5432.

Notes

PREVOST RECALL NO. SR05-06. CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
