The problem
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 X3-45 and 2010-2014 H3-45 coaches manufactured May 1, 2010, through November 7, 2013, and equipped with Amaya Seats with a seat base that can be raised to accommodate wheel chairs. When the seat bases are raised and lowered they may rub against the seat belt and possibly cause damage to the seat belt.
The risk
A damaged seat belt may fail in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
The fix
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any damaged seat belts, and change the attachment point at the seat to remove the risk of damage to the seat belt, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2014. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-877-773-8678. Prevost's number for this recall is SR14-26.
