What is wrong
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2013 X3-45, H3-45, and XLII-45 Entertainer coach buses and coach bus shells manufactured September 25, 2012, through January 9, 2013, for failing to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." The buses may have missing side reflectors.
What can happen
The absence of reflectors could reduce the ability for others to see the bus, increasing the risk that another vehicle may crash into the bus.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will add side reflectors, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888 x 6558.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
