- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2020-2022 X3-45 Commuter vehicles. The right-side rearview mirror is positioned incorrectly, obstructing the view of the right side of the vehicle and the adjacent lane.
- What it can cause
- An incorrectly positioned right-side mirror can reduce the driver's visibility of what is around the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will repair or replace the right rearview mirror, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 30, 2022. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR22-08.
- 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 189 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% 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 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 6 times before this, most recently in May 2017 as 17V296000. 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 May 18, 2022 as campaign 22V347000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
