Component:
Service brakes, air
Manufactured:
05/12/2015 - 10/21/2015
Affected:
48
Defect:
Van hool is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 td925 vehicles manufactured may 13, 2015, to october 22, 2015, and 2015-2016 tdx25 vehicles manufactured december 23, 2014, to october 22, 2015. in the affected vehicles, the air brakes may take an excessive amount of time to release. as such, the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 121, 'air brake systems."
Consequence:
A delay in releasing the brake could cause the brakes to drag and cause premature wear of the brake linings. under certain conditions, excessive brake drag could contribute to heat build-up within the foundation brake assembly resulting in degradation of braking power. heat buildup in the foundation of the brake assembly can result in a fire. degradation of braking power can increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Van hool's designated agent, abc bus, inc. (abc bus), will notify van hool motorcoach owners, and abc bus dealers will correct the air brake connections, free of charge. the recall began on july 28, 2016. owners may contact abc bus at 1-877-427-7278. van hool's number for this recall is p786.
