What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2014-2017 H3-45, H3-45 VIP, X3-45, X3-45 VIP, and X3-45 VIP Entertainer motor coaches equipped with 10,000lb-capacity trailer hitch receivers. The trailer hitch mounting fasteners may loosen.

The risk

If the fasteners loosen, the trailer hitch may deform or detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trailer hitch mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on June 30, 2017. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR17-11.

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.
