Prevost Recall 22V496000: Seats

NHTSA recall 22V496000 · announced July 11, 2022 · filed by Prevost Car (us) Inc. · 206 units affected

The problem

Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2023 X3-45 commuter buses. The retention pin securing the passenger seat recline mechanism could fail, causing the mechanism to collapse, and result in a loose backrest. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The risk

During a crash, the loose backrest and the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of an injury.

What to do

Dealers will inspect and replace the retention pins and c-clips, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 25, 2022. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
