2000–2002 Van Hool C2045 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong

If this occurs, vibration weakens the attaching points and the brackets will break off. The spring brakes will stop the vehicle atomatically. This could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the mounting brackets. The recall began on january 28, 2005. Owners should contact van hool at 1-800-222-2871.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
