    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 X3-45 VIP, 2006-2013 H3-45 VIP, and 2006-2011 XLII-45 coach buses equipped with window part numbers: 790612, 790613, and 790614. These vehicles were manufactured between October 31, 2003, through April 10, 2013.

    In the event of a crash, the incorrect label may result in difficulty opening the emergency windows. This could increase the risk of personal injury.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the emergency window decals, free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on August 1, 2013.
