EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain Prevost buses. Please see the above list of models. The entrance door is missing the emergency exit operating instruction label. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 217, "Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release."
- What it can cause
- Missing instructions may prevent or delay passengers from evacuating the bus during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Prevost will replace the emergency exit label, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 7, 2026. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR26-19.
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 7,509 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,900 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 1992 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 34 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Prevost vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 17 times before this, most recently in March 2024 as 24V213000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V523000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 24V178000 (steering), 23V889000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 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.
