Prevost Car "US" Inc. "Prevost" is recalling certain 2005-2024 X3-45, 2017-2019 and 2021-2023 X3-45 Commuter, 2006-2007, 2014, and 2018 H3-41, 2005-2020 and 2022-2024 H3-45, and 2019 H3-45 VIP vehicles equipped with a wheelchair lift. The wheelchair platform bridging device may be too steep, which can cause the wheelchair to become unstable. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 403, "Platform Lift Devices" and 404, "Platform Lift Installations."
An unstable wheelchair increases the risk of injury to lift occupants.
Prevost will replace the wheelchair lift bridging device, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed July 17, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR24-26.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
