Volvo Bus Corporation "Volvo Bus" is recalling certain 2013-2021 9700 buses. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System "TWS" may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
Prevost will replace the red beacons, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed February 7, 2024. A second notice will be mailed once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-866-870-2043. Volvo Bus number for this recall is SR24-81.
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.
