Engine — Prevost · reported 31 Jul 2019 · 1,010 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2017-2020 X3-45 Coach, Commuter, VIP, and VIP Entertainer buses, and H3-45 Coach and VIP buses. Under certain conditions, such as high altitude and heavy climbing, the engine may overheat and shutdown.

The risk

If the engine unexpectedly shuts down, passengers may have to be transferred to another vehicle on the side of the road, increasing the risk of an injury. If the engine unexpectedly shuts down while the vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of crash.

The fix

Prevost will notify owners and will update the engine software, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2019. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
