PREVOST IS RECALLING 395 MY 2007-2009 MTH XL2-45, MTH XL2-45E, AND X3-45 MOTOR HOMES AND MOTOR COACHES. ON SOME VEHICLES, THE POWER STEERING HOSE PROTECTIVE SKIN HAS BEEN DAMAGED AT ASSEMBLY, LEAVING THE METAL BRAIDING EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
OVER TIME, THE METALLIC BRAIDING MAY RUST UP TO A POINT WHERE THE HOSE WILL GIVE UP UNDER PRESSURE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE POWER STEERING HOSE ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PREVOST AT 1-418-831-5432.
