2011–2012 Prevost X3-45 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 X3-45 Prevost coaches manufactured from March 25, 2011, through March 20, 2012. The left side radius rod support for the front I-beam suspension system may have been made from the wrong materials and thus, may suddenly break.
💥 The risk
If the rod breaks while the vehicle is in use, stability and vehicle control may be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will insepct the vehicles and replace any affected radius rod supports, free of charge. The recall began on January 28, 2013. 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.)
