Defect description

Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021 X3-45 commuter buses.

Safety risk

During a crash, the rear seats could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury.

Dealers will install the missing bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 22, 2022. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
