Equipment adaptive/mobility: wheelchair lift/rampReported July 9, 2024 · 2,653 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2005-2024 X3-45, 2017-2019 and 2021-2023 X3-45 Commuter, 2006-2007, 2014, and 2018 H3-41, 2005-2020 and 2022-2024 H3-45, and 2019 H3-45 VIP buses equipped with a wheelchair lift. The wheelchair platform bridging device may be too steep, which can cause the wheelchair to become unstable. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 403, "Platform Lift Devices" and 404, "Platform Lift Installations."
Risk: An unstable wheelchair increases the risk of injury to lift occupants.

Electrical system: 12v/24v/48v battery: cablesReported June 5, 2015 · 314 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 X3-45 coaches manufactured January 11, 2006, to April 12, 2010.

Risk: If the power cable electrically shorts against the frame, there would be an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective box over the connection to prevent the power cable from contacting the frame if it comes loose. Any cable that is corroded will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2015. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1‑800‑463‑7738.

Parking brakeReported August 20, 2007 · 686 vehicles affected

Remedy: Prevost is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07e037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge.
