Van Hool N.V. in the affected vehicles, the air brakes may take an excessive amount of time to release.
The short version
Van Hool N.V. reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, the air brakes may take an excessive amount of time to release. As such, the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
A delay in releasing the brake could cause the brakes to drag and cause premature wear of the brake linings. Under certain conditions, excessive brake drag could contribute to heat build-up within the foundation brake assembly resulting in degradation of braking power.
Van Hool's designated agent, ABC Bus, Inc. (ABC Bus), will notify Van Hool motorcoach owners, and ABC Bus dealers will correct the air brake connections, free of charge.
