EQUIPMENT

Defect SummaryOn certain motor coaches equipped with zf/arens as tronic shift selectors, a cell phone placed in the proximity of the shifter touch pad could cause the display to change from r (reverse) to d (drive) should the phone receive a call.
Consequence SummaryThis interference can cause improper shifting of the transmission, as forward gear can be engaged from neutral only, if the vehicle has been stopped, and if the brake pedal has been depressed. if the malfunction occurs while 'r' (reverse) is being selected, the shifter may possibly change to 'd' (drive), increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryVan hool is working with zf/arens to develop a more effective remedy for this campaign. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. owners may contact van hool at 1-800-222-2871 or zf at 1-734-416-6200.

 A january 2008 service bulletin suggests that certain model buses should upgrade to a high torque wiper motor.the tsb also alluded to wiper motor failures. therefore, odi opened this investigation to determine the failure mode, frequency and safety significance since the wiper system is considered to be a critical item of safety equipment and is required by a federal standard. van hool re-evaluated the issue and decided to conduct a safety recall. van hool determined that there was an issue, but it was an issue with improperly finished linkage components that were causing the wiper motor to fail. all wiper motor linkages on the affected buses will be replaced under the recall. the recall action resolves the issues raised by this investigation. accordingly, this investigation is closed.
