NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain Prevost buses. Please see the above list of models. The entrance door is missing the emergency exit operating instruction label. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
The risk
Missing instructions may prevent or delay passengers from evacuating the bus during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Prevost will replace the emergency exit label, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 7, 2026. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR26-19.
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.
