Plain-English summary
Van Hool N.V. is recalling certain model year 2012 TD925 motorcoaches manufactured between October 2011 and July 2012. These vehicles are equipped with a Cummins ISX engine and a Fuel Pro fuel filter located behind the left tag axle tire. A total of 136 vehicles are affected by this recall.
The defect involves the potential for debris from a left tag axle tire blowout to damage the Fuel Pro fuel filter compartment base plate.
