Prevost X3-45 Recall 23V245: Electrical cables may chafe and cause a fire

NHTSA campaign 23V245, reported April 6, 2023, 3 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Power distribution cables passing through a metal panel may rub against the panel's edges because the protective grommet is insufficient. Over time this can cause a short circuit, which increases the risk of a fire.

A vehicle fire may force passengers to evacuate in an uncontrolled traffic situation, raising the risk of injury. Owners should have their vehicle inspected as soon as possible. The dealer will inspect the grommet and replace it if necessary, at no cost. Owners who have questions can contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Owner notification letters were mailed May 8, 2023. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
