What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Prevost Cars, Inc (Prevost) is recalling certain 2000 XL-45 buses, 2000-2006 XL2-45 buses and 2007-2014 X3-45 buses. The draglink tube turnbuckle may fracture causing a loss of steering.

The risk

A complete loss of steering would increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Prevost has notified owners, and dealers will replace the draglink, free of charge. Prevost issued an interim notification to owners on February 13, 2019. The recall began June 3, 2019. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR19-04.

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.
