- What it can cause
- An inoperative engine stop button can increase the risk of injury to a service technician.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 31, 2023. 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 22 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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 2017 to 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the engine once before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V565000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V889000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 22V236000 (seat belts), 22V221000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 12, 2022 as campaign 22V918000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
