Prevost is recalling 600 Model Year 2004 and 2005 and 2006 and 2007 and 2008 H3-41, H3-45, Model Year 2007 and 2008 X3-45, and Model Year 2004 and 2005 and 2006 XLII motor coaches equipped with ZF/Arens Astronic shift selectors.
A cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from 'R' (reverse) to 'D’ (drive) should the phone receive a call. This interference can cause the transmission to not operate or cause improper shifting, as forward gear can be engaged from neutral only, if the vehicle has been stopped, and if the brake pedal has been depressed.
If the malfunction occurs while ‘R’ (reverse) is being selected, the shifter may possibly change to ‘D’ (drive), increasing the risk of a crash. Prevost will mail stickers and installation instructions to their owners and will also arrange to have the transmission software upgraded.
