What's wrong?
The driver-side exterior rearview mirror on the 2026 Prevost H3-45 and H3-45 Vip gives the driver a view along the left side of the vehicle and the lane beside it. It is mounted to the body so it stays steady while the vehicle moves, turns, and vibrates on the road. That steady view matters because the driver uses it to judge traffic, lane position, and clearance.
On affected vehicles, the left-side mirror assembly was built with dimensions outside Prevost's design specifications. That mismatch lets the mirror exhibit excessive play, meaning the mirror moves more than it should at its mounting points. Durability testing showed the dimensional variation increases the risk that the mirror separates from the vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall record does not describe a dependable symptom for an owner to catch before the mirror separates, so loose mirror movement should be treated as a service issue.
Who's affected?
Covers the H3-45 and H3-45 Vip, both using the same left-side exterior mirror assembly.
