What happened

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 X3-45 VIP, 2006-2013 H3-45 VIP, and 2006-2011 XLII-45 coach buses manufactured between October 31, 2003, and April 10, 2013, that are equipped with specific window part numbers. The emergency window decals on these vehicles do not contain complete instructions for opening the windows—specifically, they fail to explain that the latch must be held down while the window is pushed outward. In a crash, this missing instruction could make it difficult for passengers to open emergency windows, potentially increasing the risk of personal injury.

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will replace the emergency window decals at no charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on August 1, 2013, and owners were notified that replacement decals became available on August 30, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888 x 6558 and reference campaign recall number SR13-26.
