Recalls- Steering column joints. Recall 24V178000 affects 23 vehicles. The steering column joints may fail causing loss of steering control which increases crash risk. Owners are advised not to drive until repairs are completed. Prevost will replace the joints free of charge.
- Driver assist system radar. Recall 23V805000 affects 183 vehicles. An incorrect front bumper trim panel may obstruct the radar sensor causing malfunction of the automatic emergency braking system. This may cause unexpected or missed braking and increase crash risk. Prevost will inspect and replace the bumper panel as needed at no cost.
- Grid heater relay. Recall 23V761000 affects 204 vehicles. Loose connections in grid heater cables can cause relay overheating which raises fire risk. Prevost will inspect, tighten connections, and replace damaged components free of charge.
- Fire suppression sensor. Recall 23V126000 affects 555 vehicles. Corrosion of the optical fire sensor may cause false fire warnings, engine shutdowns, and chemical discharge, leading to sudden power loss and evacuation risks. Prevost will install spacers and replace sensors as needed without charge.
- Hazard warning lights. Recall 23V183000 affects 26 vehicles. Hazard lights may not flash simultaneously when ignition is off, failing FMVSS 108 requirements and potentially confusing other drivers. Software will be updated free of charge.
- Turn signal lights. Recall 23V474000 affects 93 vehicles. The right front turn signal light may fail during operation, violating FMVSS 108 and reducing visibility which increases crash risk. Enhanced headlight wiring with additional resistors will be installed at no cost.
- Alternator belt and bearing. Recall 22V221000 affects 6,342 vehicles. The alternator front bearing may seize while the belt continues to operate causing overheating and fire risk. Prevost will replace the alternator belt free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs related to these recalls or unresolved safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting with a qualified attorney can help clarify available protections and next steps.
