2010 Prevost MTH XLII-45E & 2010 Prevost X3-45 recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost is recalling one model year 2010 X3-45 and one model year 2010 MTH XLII-45E coach. Due to improper hardware, the tag axle hub cap screws may loosen, resulting in wheel separation.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a wayward wheel represents a road hazard to other road users.
🔧 The fix
Prevost has replaced the tag axle hub cap screws in the affected vehicles. Therefore, owner notifications will not be mailed. 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.)
