Summary

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling 79 of its 2024 H3-45 and H3-45 VIP vehicles because a protective grommet for the battery cables was improperly installed. This defect allows the cables to rub against the edges of a metal panel, which can lead to the wires wearing down and potentially short-circuiting. If an electrical short occurs, it can cause a vehicle fire, which may require passengers to evacuate in dangerous traffic conditions. Prevost will inspect the wiring and reinstall the grommet as needed for free.

Risk

The battery cables can chafe against a metallic panel, leading to an electrical short circuit. This short circuit significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire and potential injuries to passengers during an emergency evacuation.
