Defect
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Prevost X3-45 Commuter motorcoaches. The driver's seat is equipped with a Type 1 seat belt instead of the correct Type 2 seat belt.

Safety risk
An incorrect seat belt may not adequately protect the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of an injury.
Remedy
Prevost will replace the driver's seat and seat belt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 16, 2023. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046.
