15V349000

Date: 2015-06-05. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: 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.

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

Remedy: 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.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
