Prevost Cars in the affected bus, the transmission has the wrong software and may not lock to prevent movement while the wheelchair lift door is open.
The short version
Prevost Cars, Inc. reported a problem with the automatic transmission control module (tcm/pcm/tecm). Here is what owners need to know.
Prevost is recalling one model year 2013 H3-45 coach bus manufactured November 14, 2011, through July 3, 2012. In the affected bus, the transmission has the wrong software and may not lock to prevent movement while the wheelchair lift door is open.
Without the transmission locking to prevent movement, if the parking brake lock fails while the wheelchair lift door is open, the bus may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of injury.
Prevost has notified the owner, and the transmission is being reprogrammed, free of charge.
