EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2023-2024 H3-45 and 2022-2024 H3-45 VIP vehicles. The right front turn signal light may fail when the turn signal or hazard warning lights are activated. 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
- An inoperative front turn signal may not notify other drivers of a turning vehicle, while inoperative hazard warning lights reduce the vehicle visibility to other drivers, both increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will install enhanced headlight wiring that includes additional resistors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-19.
- 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 93 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% 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 2024, 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 4 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V183000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 24V213000 (equipment), 24V179000 (electrical system), 24V178000 (steering).
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, 2023 as campaign 23V474000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
