Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Van Hool is recalling certain 2015-2016 TD925 and TDX25 motorcoach models manufactured between December 23, 2014, and October 22, 2015. The air brakes in these vehicles may take an excessive amount of time to release, which can cause the brakes to drag and wear prematurely. Under certain conditions, this excessive brake drag can cause heat buildup in the brake assembly, potentially degrading braking power or resulting in a fire, which increases the risk of a crash.
Van Hool's designated agent, ABC Bus, Inc., will notify affected motorcoach owners and correct the air brake connections free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2016. Owners of affected vehicles should contact ABC Bus at 1-877-427-7278, and may reference Van Hool recall number P786.
