What is wrong
Prevost is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 X3-45 and X3-45 Entertainer coach buses manufactured November 2, 2006, through November 27, 2008. In the affected buses there are two battery cables. One of cables may have been inadvertently installed in a p-clamp. As a result, the cable that is not run through the p-clamp may rub against the p-clamp causing a short circuit.
What can happen
A short may result in a vehicle fire.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will remove the p-clamp, inspect, and replace the affected battery cable as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2013. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's recall number is SR13-73.

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.
