The problem
Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2022 X3-45 Commuter Coach buses. The passenger seats may have an attachment improperly clamped to the wall rail on the outboard side. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk
Unsecured seats may not properly restrain occupants during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Prevost will provide instructions to inspect and replace the seat belt clamp, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 31, 2021. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR SR21-308.
