2006–2010 Prevost X3-45 recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 X3-45 coaches manufactured January 11, 2006, to April 12, 2010. The affected vehicles have booster stud connections that may rust. As they rust, the stud may weaken and break, allowing the power cable to ground against the vehicle frame.

💥 The risk

If the power cable electrically shorts against the frame, there would be an increased risk of a fire.

🔧 The fix

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective box over the connection to prevent the power cable from contacting the frame if it comes loose. Any cable that is corroded will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2015. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-800-463-7738. Prevost's number for this recall is SR15-27.

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.)
