The short answer

NHTSA received Prevost Cars, Inc.’s report on Dec 26, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

If the rod breaks while the vehicle is in use, stability and vehicle control may be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

Prevost is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 X3-45 Prevost coaches manufactured from March 25, 2011, through March 20, 2012.

The left side radius rod support for the front I-beam suspension system may have been made from the wrong materials and thus, may suddenly break.

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.
