Most recent first. Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. Click a recall for the full defect, consequence and remedy text.

  1. Door (structure)

    NHTSA 95V013000 Reported 1,090 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    If a passenger tries to exit the lavatory compartment by pushing with his back against the lavatory window and his legs against the lavatory door, the window can separate.

    Remedy: Dealers will install a rail in the lavatory compartment window so that lavatory occupants can press against the rail rather than the window, and to help the passenger to keep balance while the vehicle is moving.

  2. Conventional (parking brake)

    NHTSA 95V016000 Reported 2,075 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    The parking brake button can be hit accidently allowing the parking brake to release.

    Remedy: Dealers will install a protector over the parking brake button in order to prevent accidental release of the parking brakes.

  3. Gear box (other than rack and pinion) (steering)

    NHTSA 82V117000 Reported 454 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    The elastic portion of the retaining bolts used to support the steering gear box may be too short. As a result, these bolts will not lock sufficiently, causing the nuts to loosen and allowing the steering gear box assembly to become inoperative.

    Remedy: The dealer will inspect the steering gear box and, if necessary, replace the short bolts with longer bolts at no charge to owner.

  4. Steering wheel/handle bar (steering)

    NHTSA 82V093000 Reported 669 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    On certain vehicles the steering wheel retaining nut may not have been adequately tightened during assembly. The nut may continue to loosen and could eventually come out, allowing the steering wheel to separate from the steering column.

    Remedy: The steering wheel retaining nut will be tightened according to specifications and labor costs will be reimbursed by the manufacturer.

  5. Alternator/generator/regulator (electrical system)

    NHTSA 82V058000 Reported 306 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    Insulation of the alternator and post wires on the involved vehicles is insufficient; corrosion may develop due to contact with salt and sand used in snow and ice removal. Corrosion could lead to an electrical short between the alternator body and post.

    Remedy: Corrosion will be removed from wires and posts, a bracket will be installed, and a protective coating of silicon grease and unitrol will be applied.

  6. Lugs/nuts/bolts/studs (wheels)

    NHTSA 82V051000 Reported 157 vehicles potentially affected PREVOST CAR, INCORPORATED

    The inner traction wheel retaining nuts may not have been securely tightened during assembly. Consequently, the nuts could work loose and eventually become lost.

    Remedy: The wheel retaining nuts will be tightened to specifications, if necessary.

Checking a specific 1982 Prevost Prestige

How do I know if my 1982 Prevost Prestige has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 6 campaigns currently list the 1982 Prevost Prestige; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Prevost dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 82V051000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
