Problem Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021 X3 Commuter Coach buses. The parking brake emergency release valve may be the incorrect type, which can result in the permanent release of the parking brake. Risk A released parking brake that cannot be re-engaged may cause the vehicle to roll-away, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Prevost will provide a service document describing the inspection method used and the remedy applied when needed for the parking brake emergency release valve replacement, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 31, 2021. Owners may contact Prevost's customer service at 1-866-870-2046. Prevost's number for this recall is SR21-307.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SR21-307 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. 21V488000 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.
