- Summary
- On certain motor coaches, the hose fittings of the power steering pressure feed lines may have been improperly crimped.

- Dealers will inspect and determine the condition of the crimp fittings. If improperly crimped, steering line replacement will be required. The recall began on January 21, 2005. Owners should contact 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.
