What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (mirror detachment) that creates a risk of crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2026 H3-45 and H3-45 VIP vehicles equipped with aftermarket exterior driver side mirrors. The defect involves excessive play in the mirror, which may cause it to detach from the vehicle.

A detached mirror can reduce the driver's visibility and become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Prevost will inspect and replace the mirror as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed by March 10, 2026. Owners will receive another notice once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR26-03.
