The problem
Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2015-2018 9700 motorcoaches equipped with specific fire suppression systems. The actuator of the fire extinguisher system may not function properly, preventing the fire extinguisher from discharging the fire suppression agent.
The risk
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
The fix
Volvo Bus will notify owners, and the fire suppression system manufacturer will inspect the systems, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 15, 2019. Owners may contact Volvo Bus customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Volvo Bus' number for this recall is SR19-83.
