2021–2023 Prevost X3-45 Commuter: Seats recall
NHTSA campaign 23V475000 · 50 units potentially affected · filed Jul 11, 2023
What's wrong
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021 and 2023 X3-45 Commuter buses. The bolt securing the passenger seat recline mechanism may loosen and disengage, resulting in an unsecured seat back.
Why it matters
An unsecured seat back and integrated seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Prevost will inspect, add Loctite adhesive, and adequately tighten the seat recline mechanism bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-310.
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.
