## What the record says

- **Product**: PREVOST X3-45 COMMUTER (2021) - Recall 22V496000
- **Reason**: Prevost Car (US) Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain 2021-2023 X3-45 commuter buses. The retention pin securing the passenger seat recline mechanism could fail, causing the mechanism to collapse, and result in a loose backrest. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." During a crash, the loose backrest and the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of an injury.
