ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2022 X3-45 Com coach buses. A nut located on the rear junction box may have been improperly tightened, causing a cable to loosen.
- What it can cause
- A loose junction box cable may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will properly tighten the cables on the rear junction box, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 20, 2022. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 140 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% 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 2021 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 electrical system 15 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V267000. 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 Car (US) Inc. with NHTSA on March 24, 2022 as campaign 22V179000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
