    Structure / Body / Door

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit buses equipped with vapor door assemblies, the two piece curved connecting rods when used as an element of the door actuation linkage in conjunction with a vapor medium pneumatic differential engine, may be subject to fatigue failure resulting in bending or breaking of the connecting rod.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A broken connecting rod can allow the door panel to move freely in an uncontrolled manner, leaving passengers inside the vehicle unprotected by the door panel and enabling a protruding door panel to strike persons or objects outside the vehicle.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Neoplan is working with vapor bus international to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The remedy consists of replacing the two piece connecting rod with a one piece connecting rod. Owners may contact vapor at 1-847-777-6400 or neoplan at 1-719-336-3256.

    Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain transit buses equipped with arvinmeritor urresko tie rod clamps, heat treatment of clamps created a surface hardness that could lead to a fracture of the clamps.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the event of a crack, the clamps could break off affecting toe-in and alignment. The tie rod can come loose resulting in steering loss and a crash could occur without prior warning.
