EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY:WHEELCHAIR LIFT/RAMP
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2014 and 2018 H3-41, 2013-2024 H3-45, 2012-2024 X3-45, and 2017-2023 X3-45 Commuter vehicles. The red beacon lighting on the Threshold Warning System (TWS) may not be bright enough. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 403, "Platform Lift Systems."
- What it can cause
- Beacons that do not provide proper illumination may be less visible to wheelchair lift users, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will replace the red beacons, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 16, 2024. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR24-03.
- 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 2,100 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2012 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the equipment adaptive/mobility once before this, most recently in March 2010 as 10V117000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V461000 (visibility), 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 24V213000 (equipment), 24V179000 (electrical system).
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 22, 2023 as campaign 23V889000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
