- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2020-2022 X3 Commuter and X3 Coach buses. The front ceiling panel may come loose and fall.
- What it can cause
- A falling ceiling panel may distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash, or strike a vehicle occupant, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost Service Centers will reinforce the panel, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 17, 2021. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR21-12.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

| PrevostX3 COM | 2020 to 2022 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 201 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% 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 model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the structure 4 times before this, most recently in September 2008 as 08V448000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Car (US) Inc. with NHTSA on December 9, 2021 as campaign 21V951000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
