Van Hool T2140 recalls
Risk: Reduced steering ability can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: Cracking of a steering knuckle carrier may result in its total failure, allowing a wheel to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the alternator overheats, the components may melt, possibly resulting in smoke and creating the potential risk of a vehicle fire.
Risk: A fuel leak could create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Also a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Risk: The vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Excessive heating can cause a fire resulting in smoke, operator distraction, or personal injury. An overheated mirror switch could cause the exterior rear view mirrors to not operate. The mirrors may not adjust properly from the interior switch or operate poorly. Therefore, the driver may not be able to have full use of the rear view mirror, increasing the risk of a crash.
