Problem Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 H3-41 and H3-45, 2011-2016 H3-VIP, 2011-2016 X3-45 Coach vehicles, 2012-2016 X3-VIP vehicles, and 2011-2013 XL2 Entertainer vehicles. The coolant line on the affected vehicles may be missing a positioning clip, allowing the coolant line to rub against the braided fuel hose at one of the injectors. Risk Contact between the fuel line and the coolant line may cause a fuel leak and result in fuel spraying onto hot exhaust components increasing the risk of an engine compartment fire. Fix Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel line for abrasion, replacing it as necessary. The fuel and coolant lines will be properly secured. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact Prevost customer service at 1-418-883-3391. Prevost's number for this recall is SR16-18.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SR16-18 is the number Prevost assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V133000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Which vehicles does SR16-18 cover?

2011–2016 Prevost H3-41 and 5 other Prevost models, 1,348 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the SR16-18 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
