What this recall means for you
Certain sliding passenger seats in these motorcoaches may develop cracks between the seat frame and the support pedestal. The crack can weaken the seat's attachment to the vehicle, which is a structural concern for the seat itself.
If the seat is compromised, the risk of passenger injury increases in the event of a crash. Owners should have their vehicle inspected and the sliding seats replaced as soon as possible.
The replacement is free of charge at an authorized dealer. Prevost will notify owners directly, or you can contact Prevost customer service at 1-418-883-3391 about this recall. You can also check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
