Plain-English summary
Van Hool N.V. is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 C2045, T2140, and T2145 motorcoaches equipped with a Detroit Diesel DD13 engine. The recall involves 203 vehicles.
The pump-to-rail high-pressure fuel line support system on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work. As a result of other repairs, the line supports may loosen, potentially leading to fuel line cracking and a fuel leak. A fuel leak could create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash, or result in a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
Van Hool is working with Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) to repair these motorcoaches. Where necessary, the high-pressure fuel line support system will be replaced by DTNA authorized service facilities free of charge. The safety recall began on June 15, 2012. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-800-445-1980 or ABC Bus, Inc. toll-free at 1-877-427-7278.
