1998 Neoplan AN440 recalls, newest first

June 14, 2005NHTSA 05V290000465 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Other fuel types › Turbo/supercharger

Summary: On certain standard floor, low floor and articulated transit buses built with detroit diesel series 50 engines, the turbocharger compressor wheel can break, resulting in shaft imbalance and lubricating oil passes into the exhaust system.
Consequence: This can result in an engine compartment fire, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
Remedy: Neoplan is working with detroit diesel to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. Dealers will install an exhaust temperature sensor and reprogram the emc calibration. Owners may contact neoplan at 719-336-3256 or detroit diesel at 313-592-3708.

Electrical system › 12V/24V/48V battery

Summary: Vehicle description: transit buses equipped with vanner 60 series battery equalizers. The equalizer could fail to operate properly and cause malfunction of the battery charging system.
Consequence: Without fusing, the equalizer may melt, burn, or smoke, possibly resulting in a fire or a smoke filled bus, thus necessitating a passenger evacuation of the bus. The failure mode can cause operator distraction, and/or possible personal injury.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the buses for certain equalizers by the date code. The affected equalizers will be replaced by vanner. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact vanner at 1-800-227-6937 or neoplan at 1-719-336-3256.
