- The defect
- Volvo Bus Corporation (Volvo Bus) is recalling certain 2022 9700 buses. The GPS devices may have been installed incorrectly, which can cause an accelerator pedal sensor malfunction and lead to an unexpected loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a disabled bus may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will inspect and reinstall the GPS devices, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 31, 2023. Owners may contact Volvo Bus' customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 20 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volvo Bus vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in February 2019 as 19V119000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volvo Bus Corporation with NHTSA on December 12, 2022 as campaign 22V917000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
