The wheelchair platform bridging device may be too steep, which can cause the wheelchair to become unstable. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 403, "Platform Lift Devices" and 404, "Platform Lift Installations."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    An unstable wheelchair increases the risk of injury to lift occupants.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost will replace the wheelchair lift bridging device, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 25, 2025. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR24-26.

The fuel tank cradle supports may have gaps at the points where the cradle connects to the coach frame, which can allow the attachment bolts to loosen and fail causing the fuel tank to fall from the vehicle.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the fuel tank separates from the vehicle, it could be a road hazard and the vehicle would stall. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the power cable electrically shorts against the frame, there would be an increased risk of a fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Prevost Cars Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 X3-45 Coaches equipped with Sure Power-brand DC to DC converters containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.

The mechanical springs used to return the accelerator pedal to idle after the driver lifts their foot off the pedal may break.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the springs break, the pedal may not return to idle once the driver lifts their foot off the pedal. This unintended acceleration increases the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected accelerator pedals, free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's recall number is SR13-72.

    Vehicle Speed Control / Accelerator Pedal

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 h3-45 and model year 2009-2011 x3-45 coaches equipped with volvo d13 engines. The accelerator pedal throttle position sensor may be inoperative due to a permanent idle signal.

    Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2008-2010 motor coaches fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost coach is working with ricon and prevost will be handling the remedy for this campaign through safety recall (sr10-19). Prevost will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The recall began on june 14, 2010. Owners may contact prevost technical publications at 1-418-831-5432 x 235 or by email at dominique.gagnon@volvo.com.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost is recalling 47 my 2009 x3-45 and my 2010 h3-41, and h3-45 coaches equipped with dana i-beam axle front suspension. The dimension of the steering drag link tie rod end does not meet the manufacturer's requirements.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The tie rod end could break and create loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the drag link tie rod end and replace the part free of charge. The recall began on june 30, 2009. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-883-2888.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Over time, the metallic braiding may rust up to a point where the hose will give up under pressure. This could result in a loss of control increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will repair the power steering hose assembly. The recall is expected to begin during november 2008. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.

    Seats

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost is recalling 81 my 2008-2009 x3-45, h3-41, and h3-45 motor coaches. During production the wrong grade 5 bolts were used to install the pedestal of the passenger seat. There is a possibility that the bolts would break at installation or during the normal use of the vehicle.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
