- Summary
- Vehicle description: transit buses. These buses were built with a 1200MM or 800MM brake hose. Depending on how this hose was mounted, there is a possibility of excessive stress on this hose causing cracking close to the brake chamber as well as at the mounting clamps.
- Consequence
- The crack could be severe enough to cause air pressure leakage to the front brakes during brake application, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the front brake hoses. Owner notification mailing begam December 7, 2001. 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 abc coach/van hool at 1-800-222-2871.

Has your Van Hool been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Van Hool dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
