The defect
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2014 X3-45 commuter coaches manufactured October 1, 2014, to January 29, 2015, and equipped with Recaro-brand driver seats with a two-point seat belt and inward-facing retractor configuration. These seats have a seat belt retractor that may not lock as intended when the occupant has the seat in the full back position.
The risk
If the seat belt retractor does not lock, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained during a vehicle crash, increasing their risk of personal injury.
The remedy
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reconfigure the seat belt to provide the needed clearance, free of charge. The recall began in March 2015. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-877-773-8678. Prevost's number for this recall is SR15-308.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
