Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
In the event of a crash, the incorrect label may result in difficulty opening the emergency windows. This could increase the risk of personal injury.
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 X3-45 VIP, 2006-2013 H3-45 VIP, and 2006-2011 XLII-45 coach buses equipped with window part numbers: 790612, 790613, and 790614.
These vehicles were manufactured between October 31, 2003, through April 10, 2013.
On the vehicles involved, the decals explaining how to open the emergency windows does not contain a step required to open the window in case of an emergency.
Specifically, the latch must be held down while the window is pushed outward to release the window; this is not stated on the decal.

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.
