2013 Prevost X3-45 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2013 X3-45 motor coaches, manufactured from may 4, 2012, through july 6, 2012. The front suspension radius rods may not be properly torqued. As a result, the rods could detach.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, the driver may suddenly lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Prevost will notify owners and dealers will inspect and retorque the front suspension bolts, free of charge. The safety recall began on july 6, 2012. Owners may contact prevost car inc., service department toll-free at 1-866-870-2046 or 1-418-831-2046.
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.)
