What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021 X3 Commuter Coach buses. The parking brake emergency release valve may be the incorrect type, which can result in the permanent release of the parking brake.

The risk

A released parking brake that cannot be re-engaged may cause the vehicle to roll-away, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Prevost will provide a service document describing the inspection method used and the remedy applied when needed for the parking brake emergency release valve replacement, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 31, 2021. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR21-307.

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.nhtsa.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.
