The problem
Prevost Cars, Inc.

The coolant line on the affected vehicles may be missing a positioning clip, allowing the coolant line to rub against the braided fuel hose at one of the injectors.

Contact between the fuel line and the coolant line may cause a fuel leak and result in fuel spraying onto hot exhaust components increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire.

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel line for abrasion, replacing it as necessary. The fuel and coolant lines will be properly secured. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-418-883-3391. Prevost's number for this recall is SR16-18.
