Is my product affected?

2014 PREVOST H3-45

  • Brand PREVOST

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Prevost Car (US) Inc. is recalling certain 2014 H3-45 coaches manufactured between August 29, 2013, and November 19, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The problem is that when the seat belt release button is pressed, the latch plate can remain partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult or impossible to unlatch. This condition could prevent passengers from exiting the vehicle quickly in an emergency, increasing the risk of injury.

Prevost will notify owners of the recall, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the affected seat belt buckles at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Prevost at 1-877-773-8678 or reference recall number SR13-93 when seeking service.
