NHTSA recall 15V349000 · announced June 5, 2015 · filed by Prevost Cars, Inc. · 314 units affected

The problem

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.

The risk

If the power cable electrically shorts against the frame, there would be an increased risk of a fire.

What to do

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective box over the connection to prevent the power cable from contacting the frame if it comes loose. Any cable that is corroded will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2015. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-800-463-7738. Prevost's number for this recall is SR15-27.
