The short version

PREVOST CARS, INC. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The AFSS linear thermal detector wire may come in contact with or chafe against its supporting tie cables.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the detector wire chafes it may cause the AFSS to activate with no fire present and, as a result, the stop engine feature will be activated, bringing the vehicle to an unplanned stop and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will add a protection cloth to the linear thermal detector wire at the location of tie cable, free of charge.
