The problem
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 H3-45 VIP coaches and model year 2014 H3-45 and H3-41 coaches manufactured with KALAS-brand battery cables. In the affected vehicles, the insulation at the crimped terminal ends may not have been stripped back on the power cable to the engine electronic control unit.
The risk
If the power cable loses connection to the engine electronic control unit, the engine may shut down, increasing the risk of a crash.

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the battery cables, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2014. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-877-773-8678. Prevost's number associated with this recall is SR14-10.
