What was wrong

Defect

Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2023 X3-45 VIP Entertainer motor coaches. The grommet that protects the electrical power distribution cables passing through a metallic panel was not installed, allowing the cables to chafe on the edges of the panel and potentially short circuit.

Risk

An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a vehicle fire may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.

Manufacturer remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy is performed. Prevost will inspect and install the grommet, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 8, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-14.
