Defect:
On certain transit buses equipped with vanner 60 series battery equalizers, the equalizer could fail to operate properly and cause malfunction of the battery charging system.

Vanner is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. dealers will inspect the buses for certain equalizers by the date code. the affected equalizers will be replaced by vanner. 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 vanner at 1-800-227-6937 or van hool/abc coach at 407-656-7977.
