The problem

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2013 X3-45, 2012-2014 H3-45, 2008 H3-45 VIP, 2005 XL2, and 2006-2011 XL2-45 Entertainer buses equipped with super single tires. The cold inflation pressure shown on the certification plate is higher than the specification for the super single tires installed on the rear axle, which may lead to tire overinflation. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Part 567, "Certification Regulation."

The risk

Tire overinflation may reduce traction, braking ability and handling, increasing the the risk of a crash.

The fix

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the certification plate, free of charge. The recallbegan on November 22, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's recall number is SR13-61.
