- Summary
- On certain motor coaches and motor homes, the steering columns may be missing the lower bolt and nut. A replacement bolt and nut was installed to correct this situation on the production line. If a replacement bolt has been used and not tightened properly, the column may come out of the input shaft when the steering column adjustment mechanism is used.
- Consequence
- In such a case, a loss of steering would occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will verify the size of the bolt and nut and replace them if needed. Owner notification began April 4, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432.

Has your Prevost been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
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.
