The problem
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2012 vip45, x3-45, and xlii vehicles. The steering gearbox bolts may be too long to have been sufficiently torqued.
The risk
Over time, the steering gearbox bolts may start to loosen, leading to reduced steering function, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Prevost will notify owners and dealers will replace the bolts, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2012. Owners may contact prevost car inc., service department toll-free at 1-866-870-2046 or 1-418-831-2046.
