Issued by Van Hool N.V. · Reported Jul 2, 2015 · 50 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Van Hool N.V. (Van Hool) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 TD925 vehicles manufactured October 11, 2013, to December 12, 2014, and 2015 TDX925 vehicles manufactured on December 23, 2014. The affected vehicles are equipped with Cummins engines that may have their idle speed set too low.

Consequence

A prolonged engine idle at the low speed, combined with high electrical demand, may cause the alternator to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Van Hool will notify owners through its agent ABC Bus Inc., and Cummins service technicians will correct the engine idle speed setting. Additionally, the buses need to have their alternators replaced during the next scheduled maintenance. These repairs will be performed, free of charge. The recall began on August 6, 2015. Van Hool's number for this recall is P764.
