Volvo Bus Corporation is recalling approximately 165 model year 2023-2025 Volvo 9700 buses because metallic debris inside the Automatic Fire Suppression System (AFSS) electrical connectors can cause a short circuit. This defect may trigger a false warning, shut down the engine unexpectedly, and release chemical fire extinguishing agents into the engine compartment. Prevost will inspect the vehicles and remove any debris free of charge.
An unexpected engine shutdown while the bus is in motion significantly increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the bus becomes disabled in traffic, passengers may need to evacuate in an uncontrolled environment, increasing the risk of injury.
