Defect
Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2023 X3-45 VIP Entertainer motor coaches. The grommet that protects the electrical power distribution cables passing through a metallic panel was not installed, allowing the cables to chafe on the edges of the panel and potentially short circuit.
