The defect
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2020 Prevost X3-45 VIP, X3-45 Passenger, H3-45 VIP, and H3-45 Passenger coach buses. The driveshaft clamp bolts may not be properly tightened.
The risk
The driveshaft connection may separate resulting in a loss of drive. Additionally, a section of the driveshaft may detach from the vehicle, becoming a road hazard. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Prevost has notified owners, and will replace and properly tighten the driveshaft clamp bolts, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2019. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR19-43.
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.
