SEAT BELTS
- The defect
- Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling 2021 X3 Commuter Coach. Parts of the seat belt installed at flip-up seats may have been incorrectly assembled, causing the shoulder strap to sit improperly on a person in a wheelchair.
- What it can cause
- An improperly positioned seat belt increases the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will provide inspection and repair instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 11, 2021. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR21-301.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 3 times before this, most recently in February 2015 as 15V107000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V889000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V475000 (seats), 23V272000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Prevost Cars, Inc. with NHTSA on May 13, 2021 as campaign 21V348000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
