What happened

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2009-2011 XL2, XL2 Shells, X3 Shell Converted Coaches, and X3 motorcoaches that have an automatic fire suppression system pressure tank in the engine compartment. The pressure relief valve in the tank may not withstand engine compartment temperatures, causing the extinguishing agent to vent out. If this occurs before a fire happens, the fire suppression system will not function properly in the event of an engine fire, which increases the risk of injury to occupants.

Prevost notified owners by mail on February 2, 2015, and sent a second notice on May 21, 2015, instructing them to have dealers relocate the tank at no cost. Affected owners should contact Prevost customer service at 1-877-773-8678 to schedule the repair, or reference recall number SR15-01.
