    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Superior coach is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200 series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on september 19, 2011.

  2. 08V007000Received . 392 units.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motor coaches equipped with zf/arens astronic shift selectors, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from 'r' (reverse) to 'd' (drive) should the phone receive a call.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This interference can cause the transmission to not operate or cause improper shifting, as forward gear can be engaged from neutral only, if the vehicle has been stopped, and if the brake pedal has been depressed. If the malfunction occurs while 'r' (reverse) is being selected, the shifter may possibly change to 'd' (drive), increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost will mail stickers and installation instructions to their owners and will also arrange to have the transmission software upgraded. The recall began on february 13, 2008. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will install a new wiper harness and a new multiplex program will be downloaded in all coaches. The recall began on november 23, 2005. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-831-2046.
