For the 1981 Prevost Prestige. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Prevost been repaired?

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Prevost dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
