SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021 X3-45 commuter buses. One bolt that secures the rear bench seat frame to the body of the vehicle was not installed during the manufacturing process. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- During a crash, the rear seats could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install the missing bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 22, 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 30 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% 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, 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 seats 3 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V237000. 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 July 11, 2022 as campaign 22V495000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
