IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle(s), see VIN list below.
Dear Customer,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Prevost Car US Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021 X3-45 Commuter coaches equipped with optional Emergency/Parking Brake release valve.
DEFECT DESCRIPTION
Under certain conditions when the parking brake is applied to immobilize the vehicle, if the Emergency/Parking Brake release valve is activated (pushed down) this will release the parking brake permanently (PP-1 wrong valve) instead of momentary (RD-3 correct valve).
SAFETY RISK
Under certain conditions when the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is not on a level ground, this could cause a roll away situation and may increase the risk of injury.
IDENTIFICATION OF ANY WARNING THAT CAN PRECEDE
The Emergency/Parking Brake release valve is supposed to be a momentary valve. If the valve remains activated (down) when pushed, this is not the correct valve for this system.
REMEDY PROGRAM
Prevost will provide a service document to inspect and remedy the Emergency/Parking Brake release valve for the affected vehicle population. All cost associated with this inspection and replacement will be covered by Prevost. Note the affected vehicles in service were all remedied as of the date of this recall report.
We are submitting this recall report to fulfill 49CFR573/577 requirements related to regulatory non compliance and ensure proper traceability.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
No action required.
PRE NOTIFICATION REMEDIES
If you have previously paid for repairs as a result of this issue, you may be entitled to recovery of those expenses. Prevost Car US will reimburse the claimant by check for the reasonable amount paid for repairs (i.e. the cost of parts, labor, disposal fees and taxes) that addressed the defect as stated in the safety recall notification. To qualify, repairs must have been completed no earlier than one year prior to the release of the recall and no later than 10 days after the release of the recall mailing of the initial customer notification letter pertaining to the recall. To get reimbursed, please file an online warranty claim following normal Campaign procedures if you are a registered customer, otherwise, contact the Prevost Warranty Department at 1-866-870-2046 for reimbursement instructions.
