Van Hool T940: Brakes
Affects Van Hool T940 · 1997 — about 2 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain buses, the front brake hoses show signs of premature aging due to high-radiated heat output of the brake discs. The hoses could develop cracks near the brake chamber as well as at the mounting clamps. These cracks could be severe enough to cause air pressure leakage to the front brakes during brake application, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install updated front brake hoses.
