Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling approximately 280 of its 2021-2023 X3-45 Commuter buses due to a serious welding defect in the passenger seating. The foldable seat frames in these vehicles may have been improperly welded, failing to meet federal safety standards for seat belt anchorages. Prevost will inspect all affected vehicles and replace the seat frames as necessary at no cost to owners.

Risk

The improperly welded seat frame may fail to hold steady during a collision, meaning the seat belt and frame may not adequately restrain a passenger. This significantly increases the risk of serious injury to the passenger during a crash.

  1. Identify if your vehicle is a 2021, 2022, or 2023 Prevost X3-45 Commuter bus.
  2. Check your records or contact your fleet manager to determine if your specific bus is part of this recall (NHTSA campaign number 23V272).
  3. Contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046 to schedule a free inspection and potential replacement of the foldable passenger seat frames. Reference recall number SR23-304 during the call.
