2012–2024 Prevost X3-45 & 2013–2024 Prevost H3-45 + 2 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2014 and 2018 H3-41, 2013-2024 H3-45, 2012-2024 X3-45, and 2017-2023 X3-45 Commuter vehicles. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
💥 The risk
Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Prevost will replace the red beacons, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 16, 2024. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR24-03.
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.)
