EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost Car) is recalling certain 2022-2023 H3-45 VIP and 2023 H3-45 vehicles. When activating the hazard warning lights, the turn signal lights may not flash simultaneously if the ignition is off. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Hazard lights that do not flash simultaneously may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will update the hazard warning lights software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-07.
- 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 |

| PrevostH3-45 VIP | 2022 to 2023 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 26 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% 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 2022 to 2023, 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 exterior lighting 3 times before this, most recently in May 2017 as 17V300000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 24V178000 (steering), 23V889000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V805000 (forward collision avoidance).
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 20, 2023 as campaign 23V183000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
