All Prevost Champion recalls (4)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Prevost Champion, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Gear box (other than rack and pinion) (steering)

    NHTSA 82V117000 Reported 454 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    The elastic portion of the retaining bolts used to support the steering gear box may be too short. As a result, these bolts will not lock sufficiently, causing the nuts to loosen and allowing the steering gear box assembly to become inoperative.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect the steering gear box and, if necessary, replace the short bolts with longer bolts at no charge to owner.

    Model years: 1981, 1982

  2. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

    NHTSA 82V093000 Reported 669 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    On certain vehicles the steering wheel retaining nut may not have been adequately tightened during assembly. The nut may continue to loosen and could eventually come out, allowing the steering wheel to separate from the steering column.

    Remedy: The steering wheel retaining nut will be tightened according to specifications and labor costs will be reimbursed by the manufacturer.

    Model years: 1980, 1981, 1982

  3. Alternator/generator/regulator (electrical system)

    NHTSA 82V058000 Reported 306 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    Insulation of the alternator and post wires on the involved vehicles is insufficient; corrosion may develop due to contact with salt and sand used in snow and ice removal. Corrosion could lead to an electrical short between the alternator body and post.

    Remedy: Corrosion will be removed from wires and posts, a bracket will be installed, and a protective coating of silicon grease and unitrol will be applied.

    Model years: 1981, 1982

  4. Lugs/nuts/bolts/studs (wheels)

    NHTSA 82V051000 Reported 157 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    The inner traction wheel retaining nuts may not have been securely tightened during assembly. Consequently, the nuts could work loose and eventually become lost.

    Remedy: The wheel retaining nuts will be tightened to specifications, if necessary.

    Model years: 1981, 1982
