The problem
Van Hool N.V. (Van Hool) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Van Hool TD925 and TDX25 vehicles, equipped with certain Kidde Technologies, Inc. (KTI) KDS-25 fire extinguishers as part of the optional fire suppression system. The actuator of the extinguisher may not function properly, preventing the fire extinguisher from discharging the fire suppression agent in the event of a fire.
The risk
If the fire suppression system does not work as intended, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
The fix
Van Hool will notify owners, and KTI will inspect the fire suppression systems and replace the electrical piston actuators, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 6, 2019. Owners may contact Van Hool customer service at 1-877-427-7278 or 1-407-656-7977. Van Hool's numbers for this recall is P1039/SB1578.
