The defect
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2023 X3-45 VIP Entertainer motor coaches. The grommet that protects the electrical power distribution cables passing through a metallic panel was not installed, allowing the cables to chafe on the edges of the panel and potentially short circuit.
The risk
An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. Additionally, a vehicle fire may require an evacuation procedure in an uncontrolled traffic situation, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
The remedy
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy is performed. Prevost will inspect and install the grommet, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 8, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR23-14.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 23V246000.
