- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the repair has been performed. Prevost will replace the steering column joints, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 19, 2024. Owners may contact Provost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR24-11.

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 23 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 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the steering 13 times before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V928000. 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), 23V889000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V805000 (forward collision avoidance), 23V761000 (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 March 6, 2024 as campaign 24V178000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
