Plain-English summary
Van Hool N.V. is recalling specific model year 2010-2012 C2045, 2011-2012 T2140, 2010-2011 T2145, and 2011 TD925 motorcoaches. These vehicles were manufactured between August 2005 and September 2011 and are equipped with Meritor WABCO Electronic Stability Control (ESC) modules.
Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination may adversely affect the ESC system's slip angle calculation. This could cause the system to perceive an over-steering situation and apply the outer front wheel brake until the vehicle is perceived to be stable. This malfunction may cause the vehicle to deviate from its intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Van Hool will notify owners through its dealer, ABC Bus Inc., to replace the control module free of charge. The recall began on July 2, 2012. Owners may contact the warranty administrator for ABC Bus, Inc. toll-free at 1-877-427-7278 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
