Prevost recall: Exterior lighting

What is wrong

Prevost is recalling certain model year 2013 X3-45 Entertainer coach shells and certain model year 2014 X3-45 highway coaches manufactured October 9, 2012, through June 6, 2013. Improper voltage is being supplied to the tail lamps causing the brightness of the tail lamps to exceed the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

What could happen

Drivers may mistake exceedingly bright tail lamps to be brake lamps confusing following drivers about the intention to brake, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Prevost will notify owners and dealers will update the lamp controller software to ensure the correct voltage is reaching the affected lamps, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2013. Prevost's recall number is SR13-53. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-336-393-2233.
