What’s wrong with it?

OVER TIME, THE STEERING GEARBOX BOLTS MAY START TO LOOSEN, LEADING TO REDUCED STEERING FUNCTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

PREVOST IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 VIP45, X3-45, AND XLII VEHICLES.

THE STEERING GEARBOX BOLTS MAY BE TOO LONG TO HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TORQUED.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
