What's wrong?
The front bumper trim on the 2022-2024 Prevost H3-45 and H3-45 Vip motorcoaches sits ahead of the radar sensor used by Prevost Driver Assist. That radar sensor helps the forward collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking features read traffic ahead. For the system to work, the trim panel needs an opening that leaves the sensor's view clear.
On affected motorcoaches, Prevost installed a front bumper trim panel without that opening. The part itself is not broken; it is the wrong trim panel for a vehicle equipped with the radar sensor. Because the panel sits in front of the sensor, it blocks or obstructs the radar and prevents the driver assist system from working properly.
There is no warning sign before failure. The coach can look normal from the outside unless someone checks whether the radar sensor opening is present in the front bumper trim.
