2007–2011 Prevost H3-45 & 2009–2011 Prevost X3-45 recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 H3-45 and model year 2009-2011 X3-45 coaches equipped with volvo D13 engines. The accelerator pedal throttle position sensor may be inoperative due to a permanent idle signal.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, the vehicle may stop responding to input from the accelerator pedal, and thus become stopped in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the accelerator pedal throttle sensor, free of charge. The safety recall began on july 13, 2012. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-883-2888.
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.)
