2021–2023 Prevost X3-45 Commuter recall: seat belt
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Prevost X3-45 Commuter motorcoaches. The driver's seat is equipped with a Type 1 seat belt instead of the correct Type 2 seat belt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
💥 The risk
An incorrect seat belt may not adequately protect the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
🔧 The fix
Prevost will replace the driver's seat and seat belt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 16, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
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.)
