2003 Neoplan AN460 Articulated recalls
Recall 05V-321: Structure
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
Recall 05V-267: Electrical System
Problem: On certain 60' articulated transit buses, the starter cable and additional heavy gauge wires had inadvertently been attached to the starter stud during the manufacturing and assembly process.
Risk: Over time, the starter solenoid could crack and a short circuit might develop that would result in a vehicle fire.
Fix: These vehicles were sent to only one customer, new jersey transit. All vehicles have been corrected.
