13V534000

Date: 2013-10-29. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: Prevost is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 X3-45 and X3-45 Entertainer coach buses manufactured November 2, 2006, through November 27, 2008. In the affected buses there are two battery cables. One of cables may have been inadvertently installed in a p-clamp. As a result, the cable that is not run through the p-clamp may rub against the p-clamp causing a short circuit.

Consequence: A short may result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will remove the p-clamp, inspect, and replace the affected battery cable as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's recall number is SR13-73.

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.
