The problem
Prevost Cars (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2023 X3-45 Commuter buses. The foldable passenger seat frames may have been improperly welded.

The risk
An improperly welded seat frame may not adequately restrain the passenger, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

Prevost will inspect and replace the seat frames as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 7, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-304.
