2000–2003 Prevost H3-41 & 2000–2003 Prevost H3-45 + 6 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches and motor homes, the steering columns may be missing the lower bolt and nut. A replacement bolt and nut was installed to correct this situation on the production line. If a replacement bolt has been used and not tightened properly, the column may come out of the input shaft when the steering column adjustment mechanism is used.
💥 The risk
In such a case, a loss of steering would occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will verify the size of the bolt and nut and replace them if needed. Owner notification began april 4, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
