Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing grommet) that creates a risk of fire and potential injury to passengers, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2023 X3-45 VIP Entertainer motor coaches. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system where a grommet that protects power distribution cables passing through a metallic panel was not installed. This omission allows the cables to chafe against the edges of the panel, which can lead to a short circuit.
An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a vehicle fire. Additionally, a fire in a motor coach may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, which increases the risk of injury to passengers.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy is performed. Prevost will inspect the vehicles and install the grommet, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 8, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
