2022 Volvo Bus 9700: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V917000 · 20 units potentially affected · filed Dec 12, 2022
What's wrong
Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2022 9700 buses. The GPS devices may have been installed incorrectly, which can cause an accelerator pedal sensor malfunction and lead to an unexpected loss of drive power.
Why it matters
A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
The fix
Prevost will inspect and reinstall the GPS devices, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 31, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Bus' customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
